In the year 2000 on this day, on one of many trips to nearby Bloemfontein, my parents, in their Kia SUV, encountered a pickup coming the other way in their lane.
I flew to South Africa. Mom had survived.
We remember Jack on this day. I arranged for his memorial service in Maseru and was graciously hosted and helped by many who knew him.
My sister came after about a month and took over, helping Carol get back to the Pacific coast, where she lives today.
Dad had a pacemaker and low blood pressure, so chances are he wouldn't have made it to today. Women outlive their men for the most part.
Here's a link to an on-line bio.
