I love this story too!! Flawless - and it fits the 31 sentence structure? Amazing!
Raj, you articulated this so well, and highlighted one of the lines I loved most.
This is so true: People remember things how they want, regardless of the truth.
I love the bit about nobody wanting to picture dinosaurs with feathers, after all our years of believing they had scales - never mind what the fossil record might show. And I love that @tristancarax photo!!!
This is a @curie worthy story if ever there was one. First Place in any contest, if I were the judge, not that I've seen any other entries.

P.S. I didn't see this as suicide, but a reasoned acceptance of no longer taking the daily meds that kept her alive. Without her husband, she's already checked out. She's lived a good, long life. The world will carry on without her. If she could get her meds, she'd stick around, I believe, but in these times (and what a great, succinct, vivid portrait of these times!), she cannot get the meds, so she calmly and stoically lets nature take its course.... sniff! .... what a grand and gracious lady!
