I enjoyed this, especially the space between “Now” and “he sits.” It adds more layers to the reading
This has so much heart and is done with great skill.
Bittersweet and lovely. Great ending detail!
The line break is perfect for leaving space for the meaning readers bring to this. Lovely.

nothing like living with long time neighbors for a long time
so much to think about
He lives . . . He sits . . . He remembers.
