Can someone explain this one to me? Because from where I'm sitting, I don't quite see the point. Sad story, I guess, but it doesn't seem to have a punchline.
No, I'm not saying that every (or any) WayLay has to end in a Ziggy-style joke. But usually there's some little twist or something at the end, something to make it worth reading. If there's a twist or spark of humor in this one, I totally missed it.
Odd. Actually it parallels something that happened in my family. A relative protected their spouse from the consequences of Alzheimer's, going so far as to keep it secret from everyone. When that relative died unexpectedly, the spouse ended up out of control - and was soon institutionalized.
I still don't see the joke, though.
