My husband, Dan Collins, died this month.
By the time he passed, Dan had been sedated for a while, and there’s a small controversy between me and my sisters over what was said the last time he and I actually exchanged words.
It was either “I love you” or Dan’s claim that he was the one who ordered cans of salmon and vegetable for our dog.
One of the great joys of a long marriage is how the personal and pragmatic moosh together.
We married in 1970, when we were living in Amherst, graduate students studying government at the University of Massachusetts.
