Manson - Finally

Never really thought that Charles Manson would last this long.  May his soul be blotted out for all eternity.

I vaguely remember a sense of unease in the house at the time, Mom.  Being way down in LA helped keep a full blown panic away but I remember you avoiding the news at night for awhile, I think you were trying to keep that from me and can understand that.

I remember clearly the school bus kidnapping too.  I was a little older and rode the school bus everyday and it wasn't that far from us - what an hour and a half, maybe? 

Miss you, Mom.  This time of year is always worse.  I haven't watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas since watching it with you in the Emergency Room.  I think I see my psych tomorrow.  The pain in the hands and all over body aches and back and........ etc/etc/etc make it hard to cope lately and I sometimes wonder if I can keep this up for another 10-25 yrs, Mom.

I still have one dream left unfulfilled, Mom.  One can't come true because Sir Christopher passed away in 2015 but two out of the four came true.  I really need to focus on the third one and make some new ones to keep focused on hanging on.

Love you, Mama
