One thing before I forget...

For whatever help it gives anyone in my friendlist right now: tomorrow will be the 15th anniversary of my father's death. I still miss him, despite the passage of the years. The day remains the birthday of others whose well-being and wisdom I value. There is a balance in this.

I wish you good tidings, whatever you're celebrating or commemorating.

A good holiday season to you. I am so sorry about your farther.

Mine passed away some 53 years ago this month. I can barely remember him. Yet sometimes I wish he could have seen me grow into an adult. Plus I could have gotten to know him better.

There is a balance though. We cherish the family and friends we have.

That balance is a real thing in these worlds...

Man, that's rough. One of my best friends lost his wife on Christmas to cancer. I feel very fortunate to still have my parents: they're both in their 80s, and while I can't say that they're going strong, they're still going.

My best to you, and have as merry a holiday as is reasonably possible.
