My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Another Dream
In the dream I said I wanted us always to be us, to be together, not just be you and me. When I awoke it was not that way, not really. The "us" we have is of wish and memory and whatever one might call the way I talk to you in a way more real than most prayer. It is not at all as we had planned when we expected always to be us, growing into a very old us before we would have to think it might end. At least today, the dream was the better part. Waking could not compare.
