interacting when you are seventy
my twin sister and I speak almost every day
saying the same things over and over
there seems to be comfort in that
we call our brother on his birthday
he never answers
but he will text back
so we text him happy birthday
he texts back right away - one word
ok
this gives us a sense of peace
because we know either he or his wife are still around
at seventy, that is a comfort.
