Happy peaceful birthday wishes to partly cloudy's Dad today. I believe it's like your birthday too, now.
I wrote my Dad a letter for his birthday. My three children and I loved him tremendously. He made it to only 76, and the last 1-1/2 yrs were so hard on him.
I still cry some evenings; live alone and am more emotional in the evenings. Mother still w/ us, but our relationship wasn't close. She keeps emotions to herself and prefers to put a wall between herself and emotional peopele.
Totally forgive yourself about date ... many people aren't 'date people', I've learned.
Lord, watch over partly cloudy please ... cf
> He would have been 75. I wouldn't have remembered if my sister hadn't told me when I talked to her today. I can't retain dates, never have been able to. What month, what day of the week. My sister is the family librarian. I only recorded the emotions. I do remember, tho, that my dad died in May of 1986.
> I can't really say anything else right now.
