Lately I haven’t been able to write here.  The part of me that could whip words around seems to be gone.  For how long, I do not know.

I did want to post the link to something my brother left here for me when he came to visit a week ago.  It is from the letter he wrote two years ago in support of my application for Social Security Disability.

*Statement from my oldest brother (1950)

Mostly lately I seem swallowed in sadness.  I miss more than I can ever say the man I love whose presence vanquished my sorrow.  This sadness has been with me since I was a very tiny baby, and has only been removed for temporary times through certain different circumstances at various times over these past 58 years.

Nothing is making the sadness go away right now.  I cannot see the future.  I miss my best friend.  I miss him terribly.  There’s no point in writing about that, so I don’t.

(I have my yard fence almost done.  I am making progress learning to read music and playing piano keyboard.)
