MLK Day

[kpete]

tomorrow is also my brother' Pat's bday.
He took his own life 10 years ago, because he could not tolerate the world's injustices.

I miss him,
I wish I could be more like him

but,

in spite of my concerns, hopes and wishes,
I am happy to be
here....

peace, kpete

1. my kids are having a tough time with this one. why? they say. we just had xmas. back a week.

this holiday needs to be further into the year.

cause it is his bday, lol, not further in the year.

they are thrilled we honor mlk day herein texas. many dont like it. rather do a robert e lee day. so we say booyah. but, only a week after christmas vacation?

has been a funny in this house.

2. maybe they shouldn't have such a long xmas break then, around here they get

off the day before xmas and go back the day after new years. sounds more reasonable.

3. oh, that was another trauma drama, but on my part, lol.

they got off, half day wed. i thought they would go back tuesday after new years. i ran int a teacher and she says another week

no, i say, no. tuesday. they go back tuesday.

she thought i had lost it. lol

you are right madmom and i told both kids exactly that.
