Peter died quietly at his mother’s home after two weeks of lying in bed, unable to eat solid food. There was nothing medicine could do. Everyone was waiting. The funeral will be held later this week. Hundreds will attend, including the mayor, since his mother was so well known. Peter turned fifty last month, a kind man who had fallen on hard times. He was living under a bridge in Los Angeles when he got ill. His mother’s home was his last refuge. His obituary gives heart failure as the cause of death. But the failure wasn’t in Peter’s heart.
