Thirty-nine

 Peggy,

    NO, I don't want to be one of your clients. You did enough of that a lifetime ago, not only for me. This is therapy enough.

    And I have gone through deaths, family, close friends, not so close acquaintances, but they were all natural deaths, in a sense, anyway. Disease is still a natural process. No violence, no accidents, not even work related accidents and I've known people working in fields that I would never have the courage or physical strength to do. Shit, things like building skyscrapers (had a friend that worked in Thailand for a few years building one). So, I have only my imagination to try and relate to what happened to Luke. And I am so sorry.

    Yes, I remember M(artha). She was always very kind to me. It is one of my life's little joys (you are a much bigger one) to hear she wants to communicate; so, yes, you can give her my address. Didn't she have an older brother?

Not enough talking through them all. I can't imagine you not giving though.     Wood is most comfortable for me, walls (inside, brick outside), furniture, cabinets, but that is me.      It wa...

 Peggy,     I hope you still write.      I don't mean to be one of your patients, sorry, clients. Life is just so tiring. And it's good to hear (yeah, I know) you finally laugh. Not good to hear you are alone, again. Here I am.     Sorry, about this part.     I look at her face every night. Remembering her voice, the feel of her skin.      You haven't said much about your family. Your younger sister was always kind to my wandering, immature, ignorant soul. I don't know that I like the word soul. I haven't found one (word) that I like, that fits, yet.
