My dad addressed my christmas card to both of us.

[bertha katzenengel]

This is what it says:

Kim Harris
Kathy Smith
address
City, MD 20000

I'm speechless.

Do you see that?!

Kim Harris
Kathy Smith

I'm telling you, that's how he addressed the envelope.

His mom, Grandma, died. Maybe he's lost his mind. Maybe he's found some humanity.

For the second time this year, I just honestly don't know how to act.

1. yay!

just enjoy it :hug:

[crim son]

2. Act casual!

Kidding. It is possible he's come to an understanding with himself, no? Maybe he's recognizing the value of family? Or maybe he was enjoying some hard eggnog as he addressed the envelope. I'm happy for you, bertha katzenengel.

[Gormy Cuss]

25. I thought it was Bertha Venation

and Katzenengel was just to confuse Agent Mike.

29. Yay for Bertha V and her partner!!!

Maybe your dad having lost his mom has realized how short life is and how much he is missing by not reaching out to you.

May it continue into the new year and beyond!!
