A sad day. Today was mom and dad adversary. I don’t know how, but dad seemed to know (I don’t understand it because he is always so distant). He spent the day staring at her picture; I think it was one he took not long after they were first married.
He later went out in the back yard and sat were they use to drink coffee in the mornings. He watched the humming bird feeder as the birds came to feed. Later when he came in I turn on the HI and ran some of the old videos of the family. Then I played some of the trips that mom and dad took in later years.
I walk out of the room and when I came back in dad had the HI paused with mom in the center of the frame. He was trying to hug the holographic image of her. It was more than I could stand. I pulled him away and turn it off. His face went blank and he was off in his mine once again. He wrote on his pad the rest of the night and then I put him to bed.
