Richard Fox
Facebook Birthday Note from My Cousin, 2016
for Maureen O’Donnell Bunting, in memoriam: 1963 – 2023
I’m sorry that I missed your Birthday,
I have been signing off FB for 2-3 days,
then checking in, & popping off again—
so tired of the angst & depression
this election is bringing.
I hope you had a wonderful meal,
a good wine, & fabulous dessert,
& your loved one to share it with you.
Love to you both.
Someday, I will show you a picture
of my best friend.
You will understand when I show you.
