 I try to be grateful. I try to remember the wonderful times. To be thankful for what we had together. But that doesn't help any more than remembering the horrifying end times. Remembering the good times hurts, too.

Mourning Mornings

 Then Heidi died. A new phase began. I did not expect that. From the time came when I knew she was going to die, I thought I was already experiencing all that I would experience.

Monica and Bastian were excellent helpers, and Margaret travels exceedingly well. It's really quite amazing.) We stayed in the Black Hills. I'm not a fan, but the kids are, and so is Uncle Geoff. They enjoyed them. No, I'm a fan of plains and deserts. I like seeing my horizon, unblocked by mountains or trees. (Rolling hills, such as are...
