Dear World,
I remain confused at your intentions and conclusions at this stage. Your presentation leaves a little to be desired, yet I tend to agree that things are a bit of a struggle at present. Your wants and needs remain somewhat mixed,yet you can achieve clarity when you put your mind to it. Then again, Im not sure if I owe you a letter or you owe me. I write regardless.
No real news at this time, other than to say I visited my Dad two weekends ago. Mum has had to ramp up his care in the nursing home and he is now situated in the dementia ward. One needs to buzz a nurse to get in and punch in a six digit number to get out again. They wander you know.
It made me sad to see him that way, confined to bed and oblivious to most things. I had to tell him who I was though. A pair of peeping eyes and button nose beyond the covering sheet presented nonsensical discussion, rambling even. I knew he was not happy. The room smelled slightly of urine and I am ashamed to say I lasted only thirty minutes. I fled the place.
I cried for eight klms, glad in a way I had filled the car up previously. The Western Plains slipped away easily behind me. The further forward I went, the further I went backwards. Time had taken his mind and now played with mine.
Sorry, no further news Im afraid. Work and play remains steady though.
Thinking of you,
Your humble constituent,
Mick.
PS. I suppose world peace and individual contentment is still out of the question?
The big issues still exist I think.
Take care.

I could simply cry my eyes out…...............and then grab you and hug you tight….and NO not tell you that everything is going to be fucking OK – NO it is not going to be. Damn it you know what I think Mick….the body should have some sort of switch one can flick when it is leaving…..
I am so very sorry…..deeply.
