Too many memories, in too small a space, with too many people. I lasted about twenty minutes and then fled. Did get to meet the newest two additions to the extended family, who were asleep at the time. I'm still only a great-aunt but it's only a matter of time until the oldest nephew's oldest child does something about that.
My sister shared a thought that I have had, too: our mother lost her father when she was in her twenties, and her own mother a decade later. We never realized how much a void that must have left.
Is there a reason "space" is in the first sentence of the last three posts?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine Ms. Ecks, both my parents are still alive, but I wish you a easement of pain. Be well Ms. Ecks.
ReplyDeleteAnon: there is now.
ReplyDeleteJayNola: thank you.
