It is a bit unclear as I didn’t speak to the doctor but possibly a collapsed vertebrae causing nerve damage. He has gone from the most mobile resident to the most restricted in a matter of days. i am really feeling the distance now he lives near my sister 3 2

Here's a photograph that was taken in 2013 of his eight children stood beside his grave. His age shown on the headstone is incorrect; he was actually 69 when he died. Notice they stuck you way in the back. 5

When I'm at my home in PA mum is over 600 miles/965km away and when I'm with her in SC dad is the one out of reach. 4 1

dughlas Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Today is another hot one. Currently at noon it is 87/30° but the 62% humidity makes it feel like 94/34°. We are under heat advisory until 8pm this evening because the forecast is for heat index of 100/38°+. Additionally we've been placed under a severe t-storm watch until 7pm. 5

Timothy M. Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 3 hours ago, dughlas said: I agree with Tim. I've been enjoying the story too. And leaving some great comments. I'm not leaving comments, because I've edited several chapters ahead and I'm afraid to make spoilers. 3 hours ago, Marty said: Thanks for the heads up, Tim. Just read the first chapter on foot of your recommendation. Definitely looks good. I bet you can relate to the old cottage parts , they did make me think of you too - I thought you were already reading the story, or I would have included you too in my plug for the story. 1 4

To be honest with you, I very seldom read a story on GA until it is shown as Complete. But I'm willing to make an exception for this one. 6

I'm not Tim, but you'll find it here, Albert: It was maybe the fact that Tim said that the author is called "Brian" that threw you, Albert (as it did me at first). He writes on GA using the pseudonym @lomax61. Edited July 22, 2020 by Marty Clarification 4 2
