He spends his days caring for his wife, who has dementia.

There was a time, in the late 1950s, when Bill Lynn was stationed in France, a young fighter pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force who fell in love with a fellow Canadian, a military-base teacher named Margaret Belfry.

Bill Lynn still can’t let go of the military rules that shaped his youth. He likes order. Bill washes the dishes, keeps his condo tidy and every day, makes the bed, at least when Marg isn’t sleeping in it. The desire to organize his world brings comfort these days, since the rest of his life often feels out of control. Marg is starting to sleep through the day and night. When he helps her to bed, Bill says he likes to lean down and kiss her.
