A Sense of Doubt blog post #3507 - Reprint of HM#646 - Summer 1971 - Dad at 36 years old

I might be the one taking the picture, which is why I am not in it. I am nine years old at this time, so old enough to hold Dad's old camera and click. Though I could also be just off camera or somewhere else.

The new quarter has begun for my teaching, and I am at midterm for my grad school student work, and so I am busy.

And thus I present this reprint.

Still processing Dad's death.

Told all my students, in all three classes, about Dad dying yesterday. Had to fight back crying each time. Same with telling a colleague. I think it's going to be like this for awhile.

Thanks for tuning in.

COUNTDOWN!!!

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #646 - Long Lake 1971 - Throwback Thursday 1704.13 - photo series one #21

Hi Mom,

So, I am feeling depressed all of a sudden today. I am not sure why.

I have been feeling pretty good lately. But then I started to feel very listless, very disconnected. I am seeking unity.

I suspect that the origin of these feelings would need to be expressed with a very complicated equation, which I am too listless to try to generate right now.

I had lunch with Lori yesterday, so I thought it would be a good time to share this photo.

I am nine years old when this photo was taken. Since I am not in the picture, am I taking the photo? Could I operate a camera at the age of nine? I have no idea.

I see you in the background Mom. You're wearing your favorite yellow beach top (robe?) over your bathing suit. I have no idea who the other people are. They may be other people staying at the resort, as we did not always have the space to ourselves.

Lori is two years old or nearly two years old in this photo.

I cannot see clearly what she is wearing.

Isn't that a nice looking beach?

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
