Slowly Erasing Donna

I have spent the last two weeks having Donna’s name removed from bank accounts, the title to the house, her name off the land lease, the power bill, etc. Last Friday a woman from the ALS Association came over and picked up a few small things for their loaner closet. Someone else is coming over tomorrow to pick up a lot of the mobility supplies and home occupational therapy devices.

Those things were all esoteric, just names on paper or in computer files, today was a big one, I took all her clothes, coats, visors and shoes to Goodwill. I walk by the ratan hutch in the living room and look at the pictures of her to see if Donna is fading out Marty McFly in “Back to the Future.”
