Well Thomas, we\u2019ve arrived. Sorry I wasn\u2019t better company, I\u2019ve had my neighbor Marty on my mind.\u00a0 The obituary said he died \u201csuddenly\u201d and that to me just smacks of innuendo and, well , possible suicide.\u00a0 I guess it all comes together when you consider he turned sixty in February and has been out of a job for the last two years.\u00a0 He was so full of adventure that first year, riding his motorcycle every day, optimistic, friendly.\u00a0 I guess his demons, as Mary calls them, got the best of him.\u00a0 I recognized the signs, I\u2019ve seen them so many times before but I know like I know there isn\u2019t anything I could have done.\u00a0 I\u2019m really feeling for his children.\u00a0 Grown though they are I\u2019m sad that his death and Father\u2019s Day are so close together, they will suffer doubly year after year.\u00a0 But they are young adults just starting out and anticipating building their families.\u00a0 They will keep him alive for their children and they will know him through them.\u00a0 It reminds me that when Terri and I are gone it\u2019s entirely possible that no one will utter your name again.\u00a0 The sadness of that makes me tired sometimes.\u00a0 It\u2019s the reason why I write about you so much, perhaps that will keep your legacy alive.\u00a0 I was thinking that the residual effects of life are what make up a legacy, I don\u2019t know what the effects will be for Marty but I know that there is so much more to tell about you.\u00a0 Thanks for watching over us, like I said we\u2019ve arrived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
