Another Father's Day

My son just asked me if I am okay on Father's Day.  I told him, in truth, that I am.

Neither my Daddy nor my husband wanted a big deal made about Father's Day.  They both wanted to be remembered, of course, but big to-do-s weren't necessary.

I don't think my husband thought too much about himself on Father's Day;  he thought of his father.  I know that's how I feel on Mother's Day.  It was always about her, not about me.

My son also said, "I don't think I ever told you I'm sorry you lost your husband.  I am."

That's a terrific Father's Day present for a mom.

Okay, ankle news.   Wednesday night, I was frantic.  The swelling hadn't gone down, the coloring looked worse, the pain was no better.  ...
