Dad's Stuff

Strangest thing. It is getting close to Dad's birthday, so he's been on my mind. Had a dream last night about him. Can't remember the particulars.

But today in the mail, I received a package from his wife. In it was my Dad's achievements. Things like birth and death certificates, high school and college diplomas, pictures of him in local newspapers as a kid, all his stuff from the Marines, and documents from his parents (my grandparents). Even a few of his school projects. Stuff like that.

So sifting through all of that has me in touch with my inner self. Such as it is.
