7 November 2026

 Nut Brown and Mr. Brown are out of town for an extended weekend on a road trip together.  This afternoon (it's Saturday), I came home from visiting a friend and found that Rosebud was totally devastated because D had deleted photos from the family reunion this summer from her digital camera - intentionally, because - in his own words - he was too lazy to transfer them to the computer and wanted the space on the camera for something else.  She was very, very upset.  I asked D if he had apologized, and he said, oh I definitely have!  He handed me this piece of paper that he'd written it out on:

It says, "I don't pretend to know the challenges your facing. I know there's no replacing what you've lost. But if they were there... you might smile   and that would be enough.  I'm sorry."

It was a very nice apology.  Rosebud mourned for several hours and then cried herself to sleep.
