COMING TOGETHER--63

It is Saturday morning as I write this, 2am at work. I'm waiting so anxiously for April to come see my mother. I hope she can enjoy seeing me at the same time. She says she's stay overnight, but somehow I doubt that she will go through with that. I hope to see her for a few hours.

Sunday she and Mom will go over to Arlington to have Mother's Day with my brother's family. April has always preferred Phil and his family to me. This is heartbreaking, but I can't do anything about it. I did the best I could to raise April, but she has never been willing to return any love to me.

Still she turned out to be a great young lady and I am proud of her.

Mom has been good lately, as we sort of have leveled off our life into a routine. She did eat a huge breakfast this morning. I didn't ask her to eat much for lunch, so I hope she had the chicken and noodle soup I left her.

I got a serious offer for my old car today, I hope the person comes through with the $500 for it. I am already thinking of what life would be like without my old car. I've had it 5 years, spend a lot of money keeping it running.j It's big and comfortable and safe, but it's so old there are no parts for it any more.

Now it is Saturday at 1030am. We have had our usual cereal breakfast, I have gone to WalMart for some things and we are waiting on April to arrive. It is a beautifully cool day, a slight breeze with everybody out and about. Couldn't be more perfect for Dallas.

Mom is watching tv, as I am typing this.
