Show us something you bought on sale.
I love buying previously owned books. Because I save almost half price, I get to buy more books with the budget i have.
These were the last three books I bought on sale. Actually, the Elizabeth Berg paperback was a two-in-one: Talk Before Sleep and True to Form. I have finished the other two books quite awhile ago, and finished Talk Before Sleep last night. And I was touched by the Ruth and Ann's friendship, and the way they dealt with breast cancer, and ultimately, the way they dealt with death.
The story honestly reminded me of F2F's Smoke. How she prepared for her imminent death too. Also from cancer. How she has made peace with herself and to those she held dear to her heart. And as any talk of death, and cancer, I thought about my Aunt and Grandma again. But mostly of my Aunt. Unlike Ruth, and unlike Smoke, she wasn't able to say her goodbyes. And we weren't able to make peace with her.
I still think about her, and how I wouldn't have let her go, had I been beside her at the time of her death. And the other night, I still cried thinking about it. This is two years after her passing.
Funny how a topic "on sale" gets me talking about something else.
