RE: An Autumn Sigh

Yes, we’re in a less sever zone. But, all around us it is terrible. The rivers are cresting today and tomorrow, meaning more flooding.

We lived through The Flood of ’93, in Missouri. We lived in the capital city, Jefferson City, Missouri then; the city was essentially an island for at least two weeks. I got sick back then and never fully recovered.

I admit, I’m a little freaked out about the flooding in all our neighboring towns here.

What's up with the situation now? Checking in on you.

I’ve been dealing with pneumonia this past week. I’m on a powerful antibiotic and a not-messing-around cough suppressant.

However, I’m also dealing with my mother’s imminent demise. I donned a surgical mask and we drove down to Fayetteville for a deathbed goodbye.

Be strong my friend. I know you can overcome them.
Sorry to hear about your mom.
I send lots of love to you.

Thank you.
