I have nothing to report...or maybe it's everything?
Having seven teens in the house--counting our nephew from Maine--everything or nothing? One day when I'm old and weak, I bet a night like this will seem like everything, but for this summer, it's ordinary.....pouring a glass of orange juice for someone, doing the dishes, driving to the mall to get my newish iPhone replaced because the speaker isn't working. Putting wash in, moving it to the dryer. Taking Sug out--she sits forlornly waiting to pee, amid the flip-flops and sneakers the teens slipped off. Culling interview notes to write Anthony's life story. Gleefully putting the A.C. on low and getting into bed.
I saw a man at Mass yesterday who reminded me of my good Dad. He was in his 80s, wearing a short-sleeved, cotton/poly blend button-down shirt, like Dad wore. He was having a little trouble walking, like Dad did. But he was proud....didn't want anyone noticing he was having trouble walking. And he had something--a pen or pen holder--in his pocket, like Dad might have. I miss my Dad.
Good night.
