This
reminds me of David’s response on the June day before Javier and I left for
Germany and I spoke about Mom. “You mean
she’s still alive?” and then, when I
asked what message I could give her from him, “I was wondering what kept you
away so long.” This message was just
the day before another kind of journey.

Hi
Tina,
Took
David to lunch today and found a huge model store. It's in the basement of the
Ace Hardware on University in Berkeley. He was very pleased to see all the
models.
On
our drive to the restaurant, he asked me, without my bringing anything up at
all, when he'd be seeing Mother. So I told him on her birthday. I also
explained to him how she was much older now and had memory problems and
sometimes got scared when there wasn't anything that we saw that was scary. I
told him that she's different from when he last saw her, so I wanted him to be
prepared, and he really seemed to hear me, and he responded. He said OK. He
didn't seem upset about it, but he did seem attentive, which I thought was
interesting and a good thing.
