Still Waxing Nostalgic
And now you’re telling me
that you’re not nostalgic.
Then give me another word for it
you who are so good with words
and at keeping things vague.
Because I need some of that vagueness now
it’s all come back too clearly.
Yes, I loved you dearly
but if you’re offering me
diamonds and rust -
well, I’ve already paid.
(lyrics by Joan Baez)

This was sent by my Dad to my grandparents. It’s a little piece of history - my family history. It is the only correspondence that I have between them. To me it’s a treasure.

A treasure indeed, Karen. It is more than I possess of my family history.
BTW, I liked your response to the doctor. Age is all a matter of perspective.
