Thanks, Dad, for an incredible life!
Most of it was lived out as horrible pain and suffering at the time. But it is proving through with a new understanding and the good that is enduring–with the mole-wart gone–remains.
You were an ace father in a way we couldn’t understand at the time because Judith couldn’t. How could I know anout Kent School and Harvard-Radcliffe College when Steven and I played at the river and the dump as children?!!! I had a putpose at those places that it took me a lifetime to accomodate and I am still working on it.
But certain things were so superb– like the mechanical, punch card computer over in the music studio at Kent school that we wrote programs in BASIC on long before anyone else got s shot at anything like this.
And going to tour IBM in grade school already knowing what a computer was.
So, it is well said that a parent’s satisfaction is to see a child independent and functioning in the community and, in that light, I am proferring that, just as Steven and I had to be separated from one another geographically in various ways because we were too close as children, similarly, I need some space from you as I recently said.
So, I don’t need any pocket money from you or a place to stay. I assume that they wouldn’t be able to put a seizure patient on the street in the middle of winter and I would have to go to a shelter if I couldn’t pay. i don’t know why my financial rep hasn’t paid yet. If you have made a commitment to pay part of the rent I would urge you to follow through.
I have asked for a month’s grace on fitting in as I was so traumatized at TBH and also by my fear of Wernersville St. Hosp. and my long ago history here in Reading because of it. At the same time I’m all new with this wart-mole removal surgery transformation finally complete after 2 1/2 years and new to this area in so many ways, it’s been such a long time and I was in such a weird place with myself here 35 years ago as has been discussed.
So, let’s get together after Jan. 1 when the pressure’s off.
