Picnic at the Elder Sister’s
Sunday night at Man-who-uses-forty-foot-ladders-to-hang-birdhouses’ was great. Tex and he are rather cute together – it was clear they didn’t want to act too obviously like a “couple”, but they were definitely together. I hope it works out for them. Long distance romances can be hard. The Professor drove us home from Man-who-uses-forty-foot-ladders-to-hang-birdhouses’ – I’d had…
A bit of self-indulgent retrospection
Twelve years ago Father’s day was Sunday, June 17th. I know because my father died on Father’s Day in 1990. He’d missed dying by heart attack in 1970. He missed dying by stroke in 1972. Both were diseases that were exacerbated, if not out-and-out caused, by smoking. Through it all, he peristed in smoking, to…
The gym, interviews, and 3 day weekends.
I decided to take Friday off, so that I can have a three day weekend to get away with The Prof. Still don’t know where we’re going (not far) or what we’re doing (not expensive), but I either need to blow steam or blow up. I’d love to go down to DC for a few…
The Cost of
Replacing a driver’s license : $24.00 Replacing an owner’s card : $18.50 Getting a new Medic Alert bracelet: $30.00 (unless I upgrade to gold, which I’ve always wanted to do – then it’s at least $80.00) Getting a new card case : I think I’ll skip that Total: : 72.50 Value of a kitten’s love…
KfH Update
When I brough Kitten from Hell home from the vet last weekend, the first thing I did was offer her some food. It would have been over a full day since she’d had anything to eat, and I figured she might be a tad hungry. She ran to her bowl, but didn’t eat anything. Her…
A bit about Salamander.
● I am divorced. In retrospect, I probably should have never married. The marriage lasted nearly 21 years, but endurance is no measurement of quality. At the point I’m at in my life now, I think it fair to say I never intend to marry again. I respect anyone who has never married by choice….
this is the kind of letter that is tough to write, but you pull it off. too bad they can’t know more about you.
I think that’s pretty good. I tried to read it from the recipient’s perspective. I think that you waited until this time of year is actually very good. The first holiday season after losing a loved one is very difficult, and this letter might make it easier. The only thing I might even suggest to add is that you are taking exceptional care of their child’s liver, that you don’t drink and are careful about medication that could damage it. They might feel better to know that the doctors are unsure as to why your original liver failed but that you were not engaging in behaviors that could have put you at risk. Oh, and you could add that it is working normally.
The above are just suggestions, and those particulars are not necessary, I suppose, but if it were the Kid, I would feel better to know that whoever got his organs would take good care of them.

Great letter. You have always had a way with words.
Beautiful…

Beautiful.
What a beautiful letter.
I would not change a thing.
Telling them about your past health would only make them sad and they do not need to know that.
You did an excellent job telling them just what they needed to know….that you are leading a ‘normal, healthy and happy life’ once again, thanks to their ‘decision’.
That will make them ‘happy’ knowing that they did they right thing. Also knowing that part of ‘them’ is living on, in you, is comforting to them, alone.
Again….
What a Beautiful letter.
Love,
Honey
P.S…
You letter also tells them…
What a ‘Beautiful person’ you are.
I think it’s a great letter. I think you did a great job showing how much a difference it has made to your life. I’m glad you were able to find the words.
