Stephen,
My condolences. It is a wonderful thing to feel, as you do, that your father
"had a great run," but it must be painful nonetheless to have him be gone.
My thoughts are with you.

Thanks for the comments. I will revisit. It was one of those snaps that
poured out with little or no reflexivity as to whether things made sense -
Syllables proposing syllables and hopping along from there.
A generous gift from somewhere to myself and others as I leave for home. My
father of 93 - who had a great run - passed away this morning. And now to
family.
