riding side by side on the bus into town he turned his headlooked at him

                                                                              You said . . Moanday?

I did

Why?

Im not sleeping well

                      Another aspect is my fear  I wont have a chance to say goodbyesay goodbye  to my Dadmy father-in-law  one of the most unique relationships Ive ever had with a man

                                                                          Our mutual respect founded our discordant love 

Hes in Hospice care in Arizona

I’m sorry. I didn’t know.

tears welledup in his eyes

                             This is one of a few times I am almost grateful my wife isnt here  Losing Maw my mother-in-law was very very difficult for her Losing her father would have been a dagger to her heart

Inevitable

            Inevitability batters down any door

I am terribly sorry.
