[ExI] story part three of two

[spike at rainier66.com]

A friend contacted me offlist to point out that Damien's passing was noted
in this forum, and that I missed at the time because of some other biggies I
have been working for about the past year.  I missed swaths of messages,
where a thousand would accumulate and I didn't have the time to read every
thread.  I would pop in with a random comment once in a while, so you
wouldn't forget I was out here, but just working stuff like trying to keep
my 86 yr old father in law able to stay in his house, which is what he
really wants to do, for understandable reasons.

 

He is nearly blind, but has lived in that house for 35 years and has changed
nothing since his bride passed 11 years ago and he mostly lost his sight
about 9 years ago.  He knows exactly where everything is located and can
deal, just as you and I can with the lights very low or off at night in our
own homes.  So. we do what we can for him there rather than bring him here.

 

May my own son do the same for me, decades from now, many decades, if I find
myself in similar circs.

 

The reason I mention it: depending on how things go with him, I might be
missing in action again for the same reason, and there is a good chance I
won't go back and read everything when I return.  But I am here, and will
insert goofy comments now and then, or the occasional actual insight.
