Jesse
This is a story about true love, and for a while, I avoided telling it because the ending was too sad for me to bear. That sadness makes me fearful; I cannot help but dread another loss well before it comes onto the horizon. It is like tonguing a loose tooth that wasn’t loose until you started pushing at it. But I have indulged my selective amnesia for too long: Jesse expected more of me and showed me how to demand more of myself. And the truth is that his death, which came so much sooner than I was prepared for, isn’t even close to the end of this story.
