when you're 90. Top Story - October 2026.
the prayer cards they give you at wakes pile up near the stack of mail that there’s no point in opening – you’re 90, quit paying the bills, quit every damn thing you don’t want to be doing with the time you have left. you’ve had enough worry over money and people and time, you’ve iced bruises and wiped tears and shit, thanking god for every thankless minute before your celebration. your heart’s been broken, but you’ve known all the greatest kinds of love, and there’s a luckiness there that so few people have the chance to taste at all
