How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Roast Veggies

I have tried, and yet continue failing along the same lines.  Makes you want to give in at certain moments, just scream into the abyss.  Why?  Why this?  The emotional toll.  It is so hard to know what to do. Try and get the cooking partnership going.  And then the setbacks take days.  The minutes feel like hours before the return to a positive mood and communication restoration.  Next time just let be, even as there will surely be something else.

I don’t know.  Just love.  Try as best as you can to stop letting it get to you.  It was a nice time overall.  The big man, the sad symmetry of the eating and diaper changes for both generations.  The circle keeps on spinning, and the years keep rolling by.  The baseball cards and Kareem Abdul Jabbar doc.  Remember?

Happy Father’s Day, old man.  Next year x2.
