It is a worrisome tension in the chest that is caused by a bill that must be remitted late or a letter from someone important that has not arrived as hoped for. Sometimes it is an awaited test result or a call that never comes. Everyone experiences angst of the soul, the mental mismanagement of the not yet materialized – whether it be good, bad or somehow tied to a hopelessly desired pending outcome. While this feeling has become my normal state, I’m surprised I’m still alive. We care for my octogenarian in-laws, and I suspect that they shall outlive me.
