June 5th, 2022. Yeah, it is. It is my birthday today. My 71st birthday. Did I ever, ever think

that I would be essentially the exact same age that my father was when he died? That I'm literally

five or six years older than my mother was when my father died. And on my birthday, I really think

about sharing this day with my mother and my father, because the three of us made this possible.

And I have been spending a lot of time day dreaming about my mom and the looks on her face when

she would be so afraid as she was getting older. And so many memories of my father and what he

went through and how he suffered and how ill he was and how he went to work no matter what.

When he should have been in the hospital, he still went to work because he had to provide

for his family. He had to provide for me. And the one thing that I've realized as I now am 71 years old.

I realized that when we're younger, we don't have a clue what our parents are really feeling.

We don't have a clue about their fears or their anger or their shame or their worries or their

insecurities or anything about them. We still, when we're younger, 20, 30, possibly even 40, we're

still wrapped up in our own lives and what we're going through. And usually our parents never let us

in to the real tragedies or the fears or whatever's going on in their lives. They always say it's okay.

I'm okay. They put on a face for the children because God forbid the children should know anything
