second hand crisis…

There is something strange about inheriting a midlife crisis in such a concrete form. Yesterday one of my kids asked why there was a fishing rod in the trunk. “Because my dad was the kind of guy who never went anywhere without a fishing rod in his trunk,” I said.

They didn’t ask why I still have it in there. I’m not sure how I would have answered.

…different maybe, but… My dad’s glasses are in the side pocket of my van. My mom gave me his clothes from the nursing home to donate or trash as necessary & his glasses were in there. I couldn’t do either. I tucked them in the side pocket. A year later, there they remain.
