Then yesterday happened. The less said, the better.
Then yesterday afternoon/evening happened, and I attended my cousin Ron's 70th birthday party (his birthday is actually in January, but oh well). Ron's father -- my Uncle Bill -- would have been 92 today.
We wound up spending just a moment talking about it, and pondering how strange it would be. To us, my dad ("Uncle Don" to him) is always going to be frozen in time in his late 50's. My Uncle Bill will be frozen in his 60s, at least to me.
It was a passing thing. Then he began looking forward to strawberry shortcake.
Which I don't eat. Not surprisingly.
Anyway, I digress. No matter what, they would have enjoyed the party. At least I think so.
We never really know, do we?
