"My best friend, Tim Carvello, has
brain cancer.
His wife, Linda, during the final
weeks of home hospice care,
asked me to photograph this intimate
time ...
a time when wolumes are spoken in a
single touch and each moment is precious.
This, then, is the final act of
undying love."

Excerpt from an interview with
journalist Jim Wooten about his book about and friendship with the late Nkosi
Johnson, a child born infected with the AIDS virus and who died at age
11:
Wooten tells NPR's Michele Norris
that at the end of one of his interviews with Johnson, the boy reminded him:
"Wait just a moment, Jim. You haven't asked me about death." Johnson then went
on to say that while he didn't want to die, he was not afraid of dying.
And he left Wooten with a message
that floored the newsman for its insight:
"Do all you can
with what you have
in the time you
have
in the place you
are."
