A new lettre...

Hi Mary. If you've been looking over the shoulders of your kids and grands, you know of course that your ex is gone, and that Sandy has sent me info on your family allowing me to connect the two groupings for real. I wanted to make note of a couple of things, since dad turned 95 today. I have figured out a number of things about that man as I have had to be directly involved in his world. He really can't stand to be alone. I do believe the man cannot stand to hear what goes on in his own head for too long, cos it dredges up memories he would prefer to have buried. He has a current girlfriend, as I am sure you know, but he misses you still. The celebrating of birthdays and anniversaries of those who have gone on does not interest him anymore, again, because it brings up things he doesn't want to think about, like mortality...... You are still very missed, but at least I don't think any one is likely to follow too quickly. Life goes on, thru its lumps and bumps, and everyone seems to get back up and keep moving. Me? Well, I could use a place closer to my best buddy, but can't leave dad just yet. I am not certain if it is my dependence, or his. Take care. Watch over your kiddos. And I will see you on the other side......
