Absolutely Nothing In Our Lives Has Ever Brought Us Closer

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 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
