ERASED

NOW I KNOW FOR SURE.  I LEFT PAGE OPEN AND WENT TO BED AND INTERNET INTERRUPTION ERASED POST.

I'M MISSING ERIC.  HIS DEATH DAY 6/13/2017.  HE WAS ONLY 61 AND 10 DAYS YOUNG, TOO YOUNG AFTER SUCH A TOUGH LIFE.  THE FIRST TIME I MET ROSE SHE CAME ON LIKE A JUNK YARD DOG.  ERIC OPENED A CLUB IN ALMADEN AND AS SOON AS I WALKED IN SHE RUSHED OVER TO FIND OUT WHO I WAS AND WHY I WAS THERE.  THEN I UNDERSTOOD ERIC.  HE WAS MERELY THE PRODUCT OF HIS CHILDHOOD.  AS WE ALL ARE UNTIL WE TAKE CHARGE AND BECOME ADULT.

I CAN THINK OF MOM'S 5/13 DEATH WITHOUT TOO MUCH TRAUMA CONSIDERING IT WAS IN THE BATH TUB AND I FOUND HER.  19 YEARS AGO.  I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE AS LONG FOR ERIC.

COLLECTING THE RECYCLE I SCRATCHED MY RIGHT SHIN ON THE LOPPERS AND CUT SOME MORE INVADING KIWI VINES.  THE SAME SPOT I WAS INJURED 8 YEARS OLD AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
