"No, this is not difficult, Sir. It is simple. Burke is not here. He's gone and he's the better for it. He's winning the Harper-Avery Award and being celebrated all over the world. That is not difficult. He's out there,...and I'm here, where everything is the same. I still live in his apartment. I walk the same halls of this hospital. I wear the same scrubs... not even that is that difficult. This is where I am. This is where I choose to be. But Sir, when his hand was shaking,..I performed his surgeries. I kept his secrets. I nursed his pride. You know and I know, and he knows it. He knows it! And yet, nowhere in that newspaper article does my name appear..I am the unseen hand to his brilliance...excuse me...And yet, while everything is the same... its very, very different. Now I'm lucky if I get to hold a clamp. Haan treats me like...I was his hand, and now I'm a ghost. That's not difficult. It's unbearable. I know everybody is proud of him but I'm not...and I do not wish him well."This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!
