Realizing how much I become like you, which is good. Lofty even. Lately I'm stuck on what you would say whenever I would get hurt. "Save the pieces" was what I grew up using as a coping mechanism, and still do. Yeah, you're hurt, but okay, keep thinking, put it back together, look forward, make a plan. Just so much wisdom in that perfect attitude.
"Saving pieces" since 1956. Can't wait to explain it all to Nick, the wisdom passed on, if crudely.
