Ever since the Covid lock downs hit I’ve been pretty isolated from the world. I keep in touch with folks, but outside of family it’s been tough. Because of that, I don’t talk to very many people as much as I should. So the broad answer to today’s question is pretty much everyone.
More specifically, I would like to talk to the kids. Any time, any place, any reason. Both of my step kids live three hours away now. I miss shooting the shit with them. I’m always looking forward to the next talk.
I need to talk to my dad more often. I am such a terrible son. There are so many times where I’ve thought about just giving him a call and I haven’t. There’s no excuse. I’m just awful. I am going to call him this morning before we leave for the vacation. I promise.
I’d like to talk to my mom. We lost her two years ago. She was dealing with dementia for a lot longer than that. I just miss her.
I’m in the cellar right now, eating breakfast and typing this literary masterpiece*. My wife is upstairs. I will be going upstairs within the next 5-10 minutes or so. I am really looking forward to talking to her. It’s been over 40 minutes since we’ve spoken. Eternity.
*Sarcasm, of course. I mean… duh, right?

When my dad was alive I only talked to him when we got together for dinner or something. He was never a phone talker and quite honestly neither am I. The conversations would always feel forced when I had to call him on his birthday or something. I’d call my mom for something and she’d say here, talk to your dad it’s his birthday next week, and we’d just say stuff like, “how are you doing. Same old same ol’. long pause. OK, here’s your mom. OK, Happy birthday Dad.” Give him a call. Find out how the weather is. I wish I could call my dad and ask him a ton of questions. Stuff I didn’t know I needed to know and that he was the best person to ask.
