170 Cecelia Ahernfrom:to:subject:StephanieMumKevin and DadSomething must be in the water over there in Ireland because I justreceived an e-mail from your son, my little brother Kevin—yes Kevin, theguy who never keeps in touch with family unless he needs to borrow money.He was writing to tell me that Dad had written to him and he was worried!Did you even know that dad could lick a stamp?Anyway, Kevin must be having some sort of quarterly life crisis or he’sjust going soft because he sent a present for Jean-Louis, the most adorablelittle booties! But don’t tell Kevin that he threw up on them. It was a nicegesture anyway. The buying of the boots, not the vomiting over them.Kevin also mentioned that Dad was talking about Billy Rogers again. Hetold me about him too. Is he OK? I’m assuming he is just feeling very contemplativenow that he has entered a new era in his life. Now at least he hastime to think. The both of you have worked so hard all your lives. NowKevin your baby is gone, Rosie and Katie are gone, I’m gone, and the houseis finally all yours. I suppose I can understand how it’s difficult for Dad toget his head around it. You were both used to a house full of screaming kidsand bickering teenagers. When we finally grew up, along came a crying babyand you were so good to help Rosie out. I know it was hard for you financiallytoo.Kevin mentioned something about Rosie’s job; I don’t want to call heruntil I’ve heard from you about it. Let me know.from:to:subject:MumStephanieRe: Kevin and DadYou’re absolutely right. I think your father has a lot of thinking to doand enough time in the day to do it now. I love having him home! He’s notrushing off all the time or thinking about a problem at work that needs to besolved while I’m trying to have a conversation with him. It’s like he’s all here
