And yes, it’s been another quiet day. I spent a few hours at the office, and it felt good to get out a little and to be with my colleagues for a while. My sweetie went on one of his beach excursions, hunting for fossils and assorted artifacts. He tells me he screams into the wind to let out some of the feelings that would be too much for me to take. When I stepped off the subway train I saw him getting out of another car, so we got to come home together.
In today’s mail was another gift: a hand-sewn pillowcase, colorful and whimsical with a pattern of hearts, from someone who’s been my friend since second grade. Thank you, thank you everyone.
So glad you got it, Mara. Many, many wonderful memories went into that pillowcase, and I hoped you’d like it. I had lunch with Sue, Rosalie, and Ann Keenan today, and they send their love and prayers and wish you many good days. Will you be going to your parents’ in Naples for Thanksgiving? If so, please tell them hello for me and let them know I’m thinking of them too.
Ai, Marty. I am glad the wind and the ocean are there for him
