Hey Hal,

It's Rev. Art Severance formerly of East Shore, nor retired and back in San Antonio to be near kids and grandkids. You are in my thoughts and prayers! Liked the storybook how your parents met, and the photo of you and you mom on your scooter!

Yes.. I was glad to hear the official version. The version that I've heard most was filtered through my sisters' telling. :)

Intial thoughts

' you look like your mum and dad.combined 😊

God I wish I'd bought a scooter when I could ..

And third I don't think your writing is sad enough ...if us severe CFS people really wrote what happens in our head the room would be empty 🤪

A Patrick’s Day tale that could also easily be a Valentine’s Day lovely story!

Your dad "suddenly took off ahead of us and began dancing a Scottish jig" — this sounds like something you would do, Hal! Lovely story, wonderful to hear your mom's voice. Great work — and a beautiful message.
