Conversations about
her husband and four children
a/k/a
my brother-in-law, 3 nieces
and a nephew
cannot be measured
ditto
for what we have shared
of our deceased parents
and older sister
BUT
if you regard this page
as something to soak up
your sympathy,
you'd be
way off the mark
HOWEVER,
her "children"
are now all responsible adults
with families of their own
Numerous pictures of her
six grandchildren
—and numerous phone calls—
are bountiful
in their Uncle's
email folders
BUT
like all wordy pages
posted in
The GodFather of Math Trilogy,
I must have
specific reason
for being so verbose.
Dear Reader
please allow your patience
to go into overdrive
because we are getting closer
to a conclusion
My age is north of seventy
and my sister is slightly south
of that mark
Yet, her elegance,
carriage and beatitudes
far surpass her handsome brother's
ability to turn heads,
so to speak
But nothing in our existence
has ever brought us closer
than a word puzzle
appearing seven days a week
I am humbly convinced
that my only immediate blood relation
has an intelligence superior
to my own
Like all the paranoid survivors
of planet Earth in 2023,
I will provide no hyperlink
for this page
but
WORDLE
is a word I repeat
with way-too-much
frequency
Thankfully,
Mrs. CarPeo
and my sister
repeat the word
just as often
but with more wit,
wisdom and intelligence
than I could ever
wish for
QED

ReplyDeleteIs Mr. Oliverio OK?
Mr. Oliverio is fine
Delete—thank you for asking—
but I labor under the delusion
that a blogger can respect the privacy
of a subject by excluding her name
Wouldn't have been more accurate for the title to have been
Delete"Absolutely Nothing In Our Adult Orphan Lives
Has Ever Brought Us Closer"
??
Oliverio could not agree more
Deletebut I thought doing so with invoke the sympathies
of the reader...
I preferred to use hyperbole
and omit the Orphan word
