Having Our Say Part VII, Chapter 32: Bessie Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Bessie is proud that Sadie has become tougher in her old age. Like Lou Reed, she knows that "you need a reason to keep living" and Sadie is that reason (7.32.4).
  • Although some days are better than other, Bessie still enjoys life. She just never thought she'd live long enough that people would be interested in hearing her story.
