Four people in a hospital room are the closest of relatives. It is the first time they have been alone together in more than a quarter century. There is plenty to say and avoid.

The view outside the window is 4 stories of solid brick wall.

I bring up the pony which get’s my father into trouble. I tell him if he wants to get me back he should bring up the rabbit.
.
Mom says that we kids got all of our good traits from her and our bad from him. Dad says he believes she might be right.

My sister calls him daddy and I call them Ma’ and Pop respectively embracing my inner Jersey.

For the first time in 35 years there is nothing wrong with this picture. Everything is as it seems. It is a perfect moment and no matter what happens next I will eagerly add this snapshot to my album.
