Wow!!! This monologue will hit close to home for anyone who have had aging parents or hitting that age where your body starts to fall apart on you and I've been there with saying just let dad eat what he wants to at this point and I've been dealing with onset medical things that have me looking at my dietary choices and what path should I strike out on to makes sure I don't wind up like my dad did. Powerful and straight to the point and a must read!

Honesty of expression, of the bald-faced and brutal type, is usually achieved by an artist after years of hard, difficult, heartbreaking work . . . after having lived for many hard, difficult and heartbreaking years. Debra A. Cole's "Grace" has not even the slightest hint of artifice or posture. The experience recounted by the character has been lived and breathed. And it was all done with such brevity that it made me envious. Nice work, Debra!

An absolutely hauntingly beautiful, introspective and thought-provoking monologue. It has shades of Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" in the best way - an exquisitely written fragment of a challenging passage of life that doesn't get enough consideration, on stage or off.
