Fascinating read about the 'spoils' and their distribution.

On another note, hope you are OK ... with all the family business of caring it's hard to find time just to think sometimes. Best wishes to you anyway, ❤️.

Thank you so much, Rose Marie! Writing is for me the best form of meditation so it really helps in those difficult times. My Dad has not regained his consciousness and remains in the coma. Visiting him at the hospital nearly every day is the least I can do. But finding time to read and/or to write - unless one is so knackered you cannot sit straight - is essential , too

I'm sorry to read that there has been no improvement in your Dad's consciousness. Stay strong.
