A phrase and oh too common— 

But how many suffer 
To live through it.

  3. Few wish to follow them there.

    A woman I see sometimes on night buses is a professional live-in caregiver to the elderly and helpless.

    She changes residences every so soften.

    "I don't do death," she told me lately, matter-of-factly, as of why she's riding a different route these nights.

  4. I can see her point, Tom: She takes them as far as she can and then someone else--or maybe no one--takes them the rest of the way. No buses on the route and it's the same dead end.
