... Then getting a phone call last night from Peter setting up dinner on Thursday has got to be BLISS! Not just for the call, which is becoming a Sunday night staple, but because of the why behind the dinner date. March 3rd - our brother Ian's birthday. If he was still with us, Ian would be turning 68.
Mom always described Ian as Peter's "boy of boys." Ian & I were closest in age & apparently temperament, but he was Peter's heart. I can't begin to imagine the impact his death - which happened when Peter was in California - had on our oldest brother.
Peter always called Mom on 03/03. Am honored to join him for dinner & a remembrance, getting together over great Chinese take-out & sharing Ian stories with the person who's uncannily like the lad ~ my John.
Bliss!
