Make Do and Mend

By Samuel Miles McGee

Life is complex enough; life as a gay man, however, comes with its own complexities.When Delphine Canterbury, the matriarch and epicenter of the Canterbury family, passes away, her devoted Grandson, Archie, finds his already precarious and chaotic life thrown into a maelstrom.Archie's marriage is breaking down. His mental state is a chemical deficient wasteland of anxiety and depression. And the grief of having lost the woman who had been the one person on which he felt he could truly rely leads him to question every facet of his life. And just how do you navigate the world anew after such a momentous bereavement?Archie, an avowed atheist, believes that his grandmother has gone now; that her death has taken her from him indefinitely. And yet, unbeknownst to Archie, Delphine survives; Delphine goes on.Through Delphine Canterbury's omnipresent, ethereal perspective, we follow Archie through the tumult of life post-Delphine.They say hindsight is 20/20. Well, the hindsight bestowed by death is better. Delphine Canterbury can see everything in her grandson's life that life itself would not allow her to see.And she has something to say about it.
