Transcription
'- Beard story.
- The comments were thoughtful. I'll print them out.
- I received phone calls from NY and from Palestine, TX. The positive feeling of connection.
- MAY 19, 2020
- Poppy texted last night that her brother-in-law Steve - Davey's husband - was killed in a car crash in Omaha yesterday afternoon. Home now. We spent our Thanksgivings with them. 11 months since Don died. Who has the gift of time?
