Ruth told me about her life – so far – as part of a palliative care program. Twelve fly-by months, ten roller-coaster sessions and one pandemic later, the book she wants to leave for her kids is done. We finished her story where we started, in her bedroom, on her bed, this time with a camera instead of a voice recorder. Maddi, David and George joined in.
