Walking over, I sat on the bench and looked over.
"Happy New Year Daddy. Been a while since the last time we talked so I thought I would swing by and catch you up."
Gathering my thoughts, I continued. "So, brother is still married, she hasn't killed him yet so it must be love. Mom is doing well also, still doing the genealogy and cooking a lot. Loves the new Ninja air fryer oven more than the one you got her. She is still using the regular pressure cooker though, doesn't trust the Instant Pot," I say, giving a little chuckle.
I should probably cut this short, need to get back to my spousal unit. Thank you for accepting me and love you always."
I lift my fingers to my lips, kiss them, and then touch them to the headstone as a few tears roll down my cheeks and I slowly walk away.
