Yia-yia's 6-month memorial...

Dear Nicky, Today was a long day for me. I was up before dawn, executing plans for my mother's six-month memorial. I took care of everything, and my dad did nothing, basically. There was some friction between us at the end of the day, with him getting in my face a little bet when I told him how stubborn he is. Anyway, I know you guys had a bunch of parties to go to today, and I hope they were a lot of fun. My trips up here consist nearly entirely of going to the cemetery or to the supermarket. I swear I will never put the burdens and guilt on you and your sister that my father has put on me since I was a boy. Love, Dad
