I now live in Minneapolis. I've been here two years.
My kids flew the nest, I got divorced and I started over. I met someone from Minneapolis and jumped at the chance to move with him.
Your Dad was right. My ex would never change and would always disappoint me. Bill was a good friend at a time when I had nobody else to tell my sorry story to.
He was definitely a man that had a lifetime surrounded by women. He was just a month younger than my dad so, I found his young mind fascinating. Up until then, I never though much about aging and what the elderly were thinking. My Dad was very much a mystery. Your Dad showed me that people of different generations really aren't that much different. I loved hearing his stories that he would dictate for me to type.
He sure did love Betty. It was very sweet how he cared for her. She was a gem of a woman. I remember how much she loved her kitty and her generosity to animal charities. I was surprised when she wanted two kittens! They were a handful.
I'm grateful to have known your parents. Although I spent a short amount of time with them, it was a profoundly positive experience.
I'm glad I got to see him last year. Best to you and the rest of the family.
Michelle
