My apologies that it's taken so long from me to read and comment, Red.
These last thoughts of Lilah's are painful and brave.
Life can be cruel and has a wicked sense of humor. It's not fair but you have to learn to make the best of what you have or you'll sink into the pit of 'what could have been'. Lilah did well but my heart still bleeds for her.

So well put and totally true. We often shape our memories into something we can live with.In memory, the sun always shines but never burns.
Sad that the valiant effort Mick made to stay away wasn't actually enough - that it took him truly disappearing for Lilah and Ray to fully move on. Looks like Mick's Turning was not only a new beginning for him but for them as well.That was the moment our lives began again. I never intended it that way and I still nurture my most secret guilt that it was the finite, tragic confirmation Mick wasn't coming back that allowed us to start over, to look forward, and to see each other as the man and woman we'd become.
