The weight of the words settled over Ethan, and he felt a mixture of relief and sorrow. Naomi had died giving to the natural course of her illness; there was no sinister undercurrent to her passing.

“As it progressed, we tried to manage it, but it got even worse,” the man continued, a pause accentuating the gravity of the situation.

“Is there an issue?” he inquired, his gaze scrutinizing and searching Ethan.

“I met her some days ago, she said something that left me puzzled.” Ethan stated leaving out some details.

The man, sighed as he delved into the complexities of Naomi’s condition. “Knowing her, with how her health was, I don’t think you should take anything she said seriously,” he admitted, a small chuckle escaping him.

“She was such a bright and loving person, but as she aged, she tended to have difficulties continuing with conversations and mixed up details,”

As he spoke, the man’s eyes held a poignant mixture of fondness and sorrow.

Recalling the conversation Ethan had had with her the previous night, he grappled with the realization that the man wasn’t wrong. It had indeed been a little difficult to engage in a complete conversation with Naomi. Her thoughts were all over the place, she kept trailing off and getting distracted.

“She even had difficulty recognizing people, sometimes she mixed up her grandkids as well,” the man added, chuckling lightly.

Ethan’s expression changed. The man noticing his expression asked; “Did she say something really wrong?” the man inquired, concern etched in the lines of his face.

“I said it was a bad idea letting her go to the pack’s reunion, representing our pack that someone else should. But the pack insisted she goes; she loved meeting other packs, and it was a form of last respect before she retired completely,” the man explained.
