THERE WILL BE TEARS
As I wrote last week, I have found the onset of alzheimers for the fictional character of Kurt Wallander deeply moving. In a few minutes I will sit to watch the last ever episode of the detective drama, featuring the wonderfully shambolic Krister Henriksson, knowing that I will be experiencing more than just your average thriller or police procedural.
Sometimes the finale of a favourite TV series leaves a bit of a gap in our lives, a small sense of loss. There will be that, of course. But far more will be knowing that character is leaving us for reasons outside the norm, with a condition we all know of and fear. I will be crying for Kurt, for myself, and for all of us.
Cherish your humanity.
