About three and a half decades ago, when Robert William was little and at my parents’, the sun started moving far enough to the south that it set over the end of the old store building and just as that happened, my father turned to Robert William and said, “Good bye, Mr. Sun.” My mother told me that yesterday.

Today Robert had surgery on his leg again. Necrotic bone around the break/shatter site. Three months of no weight on the leg and keeping it elevated. Right now the ice machine is running cool water through the cast. A year before he is walking.

He was in a lot of pain. So we gave him medicine and he is feeling better for awhile.
