Dearest
Dad,
I
cannot believe how time flew right by Father’s Day this year! It did not help me that we had plans to
vacation out of state. Fall Creek Falls in Tennessee if you care to look it
up.
I
kept forgetting to stop packing for the trip, and stop in for a card. I did try
to call on the actual day, but it seems we don’t have the best phone numbers
for you right now, as you and mom have gone to cell phones and the voice mail
is not yet set up.
I
am sending you lots of love, despite this glitch.
Your
daughter, V
PS: Please realize that now that you are 88,
feel time is of the
essence for us as a family.
We love you very much.
I yearn to
be able to
Touch
base with you
Whenever
I can
Also,
your brother Burt got news
Of
his mortality
For
Father’s Day.
He is loving you
big
enough to forgive
50
years of separation
If
you can only pick up
The
phone…
Take
the chance
(time
heals, I know it)
Ah dad, you never tried. I forgive you, as does my Uncle Burt, who passed on July 24, in the year of our Lord, 2015.
