   What’s a “bloop single”?

   When my dad passed, mom chose what she wanted to give to my brother and I. That was her right. When she passed, my brother and I shared without any fighting but we never finished together as he passed a year and a half after her. I continue to this day to go through her things. I’ve passed on to my sister-in-law items I felt that my brother would have wanted. Don’t think I’m giving her items I don’t want – they had meaning and use to me too but I realized they would have meant more to my brother. I miss all 3 of them every day and try to honor their memory.

   I was 21 – my mother was 45 (dad was 49) when my first son was born making them grandparents at a relatively young age.

   My father wouldn’t allow my brother or I to get our license until we were 18 and could do it on our own – that included learning how to drive (the driving age was 16 for a junior license). I was the older one and got my license first. Because I only drove my father’s car back then a girl wasn’t considered a risk and there was no increase in his insurance.

   My older son has been talking about watching to see if my parents’ old house comes on the market. When his father and I divorced, he and I moved in with them and stayed for about 4 years so he has a lot of memories himself. I don’t know if he’ll actually buy the house but was interesting to learn that he is thinking that way.

   I had my mom move in with me about 2 years after my father passed – she was then 74 – she lived with me until she passed at 89. During the first few years, she was able to drive herself around, walk both her dog and mine and go shopping whenever she wanted. As she got older, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and the chemo wore her down. She also broke her hip about a year before she passed. I never resented caring for her, she – however – resented that she could no longer care for herself and had to depend on me. I’m almost 74 now and I wonder what will happen with my boys when I’m no longer able to care for myself. I don’t ever want to go into a nursing home.

    I thought the sentence using all the letters of the alphabet is: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy grey dogs.
