Relationships. Hello G, I have thought about your text. I am not totally sure about your pondering, Concerning your inability to respond (to me). But so, you understand that you might have no concern with me-- On my part I do attempt to keep a 'silent' relationship alive, By occasionally sending a 'hello' or 'I am still here'. You should know I lost one wife in a terrible car accident in Africa And a second from an agonizing cancer death. In such cases, one always wonders Whether or not one could have done more or said more. I guess in my situation now, I just feel I must be sure, That if separation of some sort occurs, at least the 'other' knows I was not trying to kill a relationship through silence, And that I was reaching out, caring for that relationship. You see, I must psychologically still be assuring myself, That I could have done or said more. Thanks, Frank.
