she kind of let me know what he was angry about she didn't even have his phone number and so i

had his phone number so i said is it okay if you and I say a prayer and then I want to give

you his phone number? And I basically, what came out of me was a prayer of forgiveness that what

was going on between him and her be healed. And then I gave her my son's phone number. So that

amend is over and done with. And so then what I do is I then go back to my room. I'd called my son's number

two or three times. I got an answer machine. He used to say I did not leave a message. You know,

hi, this is your dad from 31 years ago. I just call him to say hello, how you do it, you know.

But finally on about the third ring I get him and in told him

who I was and in why I was calling I needed to make am and the same thing you know

who I am he said oh yeah because she had she was very clear with him who I was she

she was a good woman a good person she didn, she wasn't malicious about me. She just

basically explained it, I guess, more a matter-of-factly to him. And so he and I talked and

we made the amends and I asked what I could do to clean that up. And he said, well, as far as I know,

nothing really, I mean, you, you know, it's not like you've ever been in my life. He said, if you'd like to give me your telephone number and all that stuff, you know, that would be cool.

And then he used words that I use.

He said, but he said, you know, Mark, I just need to sit with this.

Those are words I use all the time.

And so, you know, that was that.

And those were the last two men's in my book of consciousness, you know, that was that. And those were the last two men's in my book of consciousness, you know, that I owed in terms of being here.
