70


Dad would have been 70 years old today, so I smoked a cigar in his honor.

I got this email today from Aunt Wanda and Uncle Don:

"Hi there,

Just wanted you all to know we were thinking of your dad today. He would have been 70, as I am sure you know. I used to joke with him and tell him that he was a lot older than me. My birthday is in November and I milked it all I could.

Love,

Wanda & Don"

I got the same email and conversed a bit with them. It was very thoughtful of them to contact us kids. They were terribly behind speed on our lives.

I thought about Dad all day too and mentioned his birthday several times.

Reread his journal that he was writing as it came with my stuff from Meno.

I miss him too.

Is that the same journal that I have where he talks about his childhood? The Life and Times of Jim Kear. There are some great stories in that journal. I only wish he could have written more.

Cindy said...

Yep. Same one. I wish he had written more, too. I wanted to hear what he thought about life with his kids, etc.
