A DIFFERENT ENDING

Italics below are still quoting from the interview with Karen Green, widow of David Wallace who committed suicide.


"You know, I still," she suggests, "have a different ending (for him, for me): it's the one where he controls his own damn poignancy, and also kisses me goodnight…"


I truly had a different ending for Andrew. I always felt we would get through it; we would figure it out, we would manage it. He seemed willing to try. I felt that my experience and education had laid the groundwork for helping Andrew. I felt he would someday have the life he wanted. That he would have his own home and his own family and yes that he would be around to give me a hug and share his life with me.
