My Best Goodbyes Leland Dirks

One of the greatest lies we tell ourselves is that we always have tomorrow. I'm sharing these stories of farewells to remind us that all we really have is today and that we must make room for hellos, even in the face of inevitable goodbyes. More than 90 small stories about goodbyes of one kind or another. A young man leaving expectations behind and building a new life. Funerals of a different sort. Sudden departures and slow farewells. The murder of a ladybug. A raven conveying a message of bereavement. A Christmas walk with friends and family who are no longer on this earth. A dog preparing for the death of her master. These stories are bite-sized fiction, and they are perfect for those moments of the day when you hunger to read, but lack the time for a novel.
