Permanent Record

When I showed the report cards to friends, Doris' card packet was usually one of the first ones I reached for. "Look at this one," I'd say. "Pretty amazing, right?" I also began to ask myself some hard questions about why I was so fascinated by Doris' plight. Was I simply a voyeur, a rubbernecker at the train wreck of her life? Was it wrong that the saddest, most pathos-laden cards in my collection, like Doris', were my favorites? Did the fact that Doris was probably dead make all of this okay? Or did that somehow make it even worse?
