it doesn't matter anymore

that ky didn't like my cranberry chutney

that ky never let us get his teeth straightened

that ky didn't learn to drive calmly

that ky wouldn't let us get a true measurement of his height

that ky wouldn't let me give away The Puss (who has become NICE and affectionate)

that ky left the car full of cans of spray paint

that ky took risks

that ky's good suit was left at the cleaners before we moved (as did the cleaners)

that ky never totally cleaned the soot off the cupboards from his first culinary disaster at the condo

that ky never got complete settlement from his auto accident (NOT his fault)

that ky never got to south america (altho in a reverie--in which i didn't actually hear his voice, he told me "I'm on quite a trip now, Mom")



however, it does matter very much that we won't have our son and brother with us this Thanksgiving.

may you and yours be safe and at peace this Thanksgiving
