This is it. This is what living is. It's all Dean's got left. But it's enough. It's everything. No one's got a future, not really, not when tomorrow they could eat a bad burrito and die of salmonella—and most of them never understand that this is what it is to be alive. A cold night and a dog barking somewhere down the street and each new breath and a heartbeat to love.
This made me all misty, and happy, too. Wonderfulness!
