I got a sincere email from my Dad. He has a large file of "Snail mails" I've sent him over the years, etc. He said he really values the memories. Dad said we should try to have more face to face visits. Sometimes it's easier to hold onto what you feel about each other if you're there in person. I remain totally confused and honored. I've been known to bombard my Dad with letters and emails. I've done the same in some online communities, and got myself in trouble!
I agree with Dad. We do much better if we have time to talk face to face. It's even better if we can do it without other people to distract us. Things are difficult right now. Dad has only one "good eye," and has been having vision troubles. He might need to give up driving totally. I will likely move closer to the St Paul, Minneapolis area. I'd be closer to family. I also want to be closer to the established, comprehensive medical facilities you can find in the big cities.
I responded to Dad's first email with a long, supportive reply. Then I sent him one that is short and sweet! "The answer is yes! You're my Only Dad!" I couldn't resist including this photo. I hope he finds it funny!
