**YESTERDAY. I drove us all to Carolyn's appointment with her OB GYN
(Obstetrics and gynaecology) doctor, got lost several times and ended up at
Belden Village, a shopping mall and one of the few still standing. It was dark
when we left and for the first time in years I was able to drive in the dark, for
about 45 minutes and 40 miles to the house. All because of eye surgery to both
eyes.
**TODAY. I need to drive Ryan to Smithville, a 5 minute drive at the high
speeds I drive, to get a haircut.
I then need to drive to the Wooster Eye Center for my appointment with Dr.
Steiner at 3:40 PM. Dr. Steiner will tell me, I hope, to stop squirting 3 eyedrops
in my right eye 4 times a day.

WHAT'S OM MY MIND TODAY
**I have talked to so many people during my 75 years of life who carry
burdens from their past, their present and in their outlook for their future. They
appear to remember the bad and not the good happenings in their life resulting
in an ever deepening depression and little hope for their future.
Do I have depression remembering things in the past, no hope for today
or in the future? No I don't. But I have a few regrets in my life with no
depression.
One was a man who wore a French cap who I promised to visit when he was
released from a hospital I was in. He handed me his address as he left and my
promise to visit. I lost his address only knowing he lived in Page County, Virginia
where I once worked as a teacher and social worker. I drove over the Blue Ridge
twice, asking at McDonald's, police stations, sheriff departments and fire
departments. Not a trace.
The second regret I have concerns my favorite teacher and coach, Mr. Kyger.
My Mother and I went to Mr. Kyger and his wife's 50th wedding anniversary just
north of Broadway High School where he last taught. Later he became ill and was
placed in a nursing home. At first I couldn't find the nursing home he was in, but
later on I found out that he was in a nursing home across from Gold's Gym in
Harrisonburg, Virginia. My sister, Nancy, and I went into the nursing home to see
him, but he was asleep and we didn't want to bother him. I learned later on that
he had died, my last chance to see him a failure.
I guess this 3rd regret is maybe the biggest. I started out hitch hiking from
Dayton, Virginia where my family lived and my family do not know my
whereabouts for about 1 and half years.
I need to ask that man who lives in Page County for forgiveness here on earth
and forgiveness from Mr. Kyger and my parents from their lofty place in Heaven.
