elizabeth.
yes.
thank you.

yes. he doesn't remember anymore.
no.
did you lose them both at the same time?
no.
i lost mine one at a time. last year.
six months apart. body failures. separate body failures.
first my father's heart kept starting and stopping.
my mother and i were with him in the hospital and he'd grab at us, he'd grab my arms and hold on.
right before my mother died, she said -- "elizabeth. you're adopted."
no. two are enough to lose.
i'm not alone. i have my grandfather.
i'm sorry.
he's stone deaf.
