Gar and I played long into the night.  He won three hands to my one.  Then he taught me to play a board game much like chess, and he beat me in five moves.  He also talked, a lot.  I think he knows I won’t be staying, and the people I will share his life with won’t be a problem.  I think I’m going to miss him when I go.
