Bhagavad Gita and a mistake...

Brittney June's (BJ) # 1 birthday
(two months after our visit with my father).


Seventeen Years Later

After our visit, he sends some ever-easy memorabilia and an index card with the following:

"For Michael David—my beloved son- I send this material because you should have it and realize what a dreadful mistake I made in marrying you’re mother! Thank you for your very polite, proper note—I did appreciate seeing you ALL. I love you all- Dad September 1984

This quote is from the East Indian philosopher Bhagavad-Gita- I think it describes your mother very well—Please keep it. “For the uncontrolled there is no wisdom, nor for the uncontrolled is there the power of concentration, and for those without concentration there is no peace. And for the un-peaceful how can there be happiness.” Dad-- This is your Mother!!"

Both my parents would tell me: "What a dreadful mistake I made in marrying your......"

Hence Philip and I were 'mistakes'.........deep down, that's how I felt for years....it ruled every nook and cranny. Philip had made up his mind long ago.
