Would Len ever see his guitar?

I decided to bring the guitar and all its accoutrements with me to Hospice House; maybe, just by having them near him, Len might feel their presence, their energy.

I wanted to shed some hope for his recovery.

​After showing Dad's gifts to the staff, I stowed them near the nurses' closet, next to Len's room. We exchanged worried looks wondering if Len would ever see the guitar.

Len didn't know about the guitar yet. He was too ill to hear the news. In many ways I wish he had been told, even shown the guitar despite his state. Do you think that would have helped him in any way?
