Finally arrived back home tonight from a long trip. My Uncle’s death was one that could have been avoided as he had prostate cancer and refused to get checked up in time. In the past year his body just withered away. He was a strapping man in his younger days even splitting a guys finger during a baseball game with a 3rd base throw to 1st. The power of a man like few others. Anyway, PLEASE, take the time to get a check up everyone reading this!
I was in Cincy and wished I could have contacted Chris Glass but I was with my many relatives. My father insisted on us driving to Phila. to see my sister who I haven’t seen in over 20 yrs! I wasn’t so sure that this trip was right but it turned out okay. My sister has been running from ‘something’ since our mother died back in 1973. Sis won’t slow down but I think it’s easier that way to not have time to reflect. Makes not difference that she went into hiding, got involved with selling drugs, got involved with woman-beating-men, refused to talk to her brothers. I still love her. I love my brother too. It really hit me when my Uncle died that my father and his siblings were close and if I died my brother and sister would probably hear from some distant phone call (thinking after the death of my father). Terrible thoughts… I’ve given up trying to maintain contact and communication with them. At our ages (over 50) it is a sad state of affairs.
