\nEarly Saturday afternoon, before visiting Flo, we drove Peter and Emma to La Cantina for Peter\u00c3\u00ads birthday, and made sure he ordered a margarita with rocks and salt. Before Paula brought them to our table, I ran to my truck for my camera. When I returned, Emma made a not-another-photo face and I felt a need to explain myself. \u00c3\u00acAuntie Sue loves this place and her favorite drink is a margarita with rocks and salt. \u00c3\u00ac <\/p>\n

Chris will appreciate this: After Peter finished his margarita he said, \u00c3\u00acThat was good, now if only I could have four or five more.\u00c3\u00ae

Helen. \u00c3\u00acDr. Bieker told me, again, it\u00c3\u00ads time to move closer to my children.\u00c3\u00ae<\/p>\n

Me. \u00c3\u00acRemember what happened to Lillian?\u00c3\u00ae <\/p>\n

Lillian, my mother\u00c3\u00ads mirror spirit, lost her husband of forever, and lived alone for years before moving from Evansville to be near her daughter in Florida. I remember sitting in Lillian\u00c3\u00ads kitchen, with my father, and as she passed arrowheads across the table to me to give to Matthew, she said, \u00c3\u00acI never had a thought about my mortality until I turned ninety.\u00c3\u00ae Lillian smiled as she talked about her now tenuous future. She always smiled, even while she was helping her husband feed himself.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00acShe lived about a year.\u00c3\u00ae<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00acI\u00c3\u00adm afraid the same might happen to you. Helen and Malcolm moved to Gaithersburg to be near their daughter. May they rest in peace.\u00c3\u00ae<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00acThat is what I am afraid of. That the move will kill your father. \u00c3\u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
