Dad awarding me the Bear Badge: 3-23-1971

A Sense of Doubt blog post #4084 - Letter to Dad #32 - Awarding my Bear Badge 3-23-1971

Hi Big Guy,

Seen above is a picture of you (in the suit) awarding me my Bear Badge, Not sure what that is anymore but it was your note. That's the high school and not the Intermediate where we usually held our meetings. That's a posh upgrade. Mom is there, too, holding Lori, who is not yet two years old in that photo. I have just turned nine years old.

I like that you and Mom are dressed up for this ceremony.

Mainly, that's what I want to share this week.

I am hammered with homework, grading, and applications.

Because I am a day behind and this is Friday, I just learned that a dear friend of mine has died, and so that's tomorrow's post.

Given all that, I think I will end it all here.

Love you,

more next week

~ christopher

- Days ago: MOM = 3948 days ago & DAD = 602 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. 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.
