I often think about my earliest memory.
Mind you, it's nothing fancy. I am sitting at a round table and eating spinach from a small bowl. That's it.
I've often wondered if it was a real memory or just a dream. Though, when I described it to my mother, she confirmed that, yes indeed, we used to have a kitchen with a round white table and yes I used to eat spinach from a small green plastic bowl, in fact it was one my favorite meals and it was all before we moved from the city I was born, long before I should probably remember...
Now I am wondering... What will be my last memory? What will I be thinking of when I finally come to the end of all living memories? Will it be a thought? A scent? A sound? A beloved's face? Will this all be a dream then, like my first memory now seems to me, just a dream, a vision-like reality hanging to my mind by a thread so thin I question its existence. Will I, then, question my life's existence too?
A friend of mine is dying.
And I force my mind to remember my last memory of him. What was the last thing we did together, him and I, before he got trapped in a damned hospital bed 17 months ago?
I cannot remember... I cannot remember at all...
All I hope is that his last memory will not be one of pain and fear. I hope he can remember that two days ago, I told him that he was my friend, that I loved him and bid him farewell.
