    Why me? Well, why *not* me?

    The other day, as I was telling my therapist about recently helping some elder friends, she said “you must wonder ‘why you’ a lot.” And I kind of do, but it’s more, like, why does it all pile on top of people I love at once? Why is it that I’ve witnessed an inordinate number
