During the time mom was ill after Labor Day in 2016 we all were awaiting the arrival of the newest addition to our family. It seems that she waited to leave until Paxton Peter Kocsis' arrival on October 2nd of this year to blissful parents, Kelly and Jon. She left us two days later and despite her diminished condition, she understood that her newest great grandson had arrived and was good and thriving. I didn't mention this important event because I guess I was preoccupied on mom's departure. Paxton's middle name should be Sunshine. He wakes up happy and is easily amused. The smile rarely leaves his face. Like Eli and Marie, he is a joy to be around. We got to see him later in the day yesterday. Katey was banging pot lids like cymbals and the belly laughs were enormous, real body shakers. Paxton was everywhere exploring, in cupboards, the walk in shower and opening drawers. He and Harry became best buddies with numerous toe licks and giggles. Harry has turned out to be a pretty good dog especially with children.
On another topic, WDET was playing songs from the summer of 67 today. I was 17 that year still in high school. Detroit had a destructive uprising and many lives and much property was lost. But still the music played on. There was no FM radio back then. We listened to CKLW from Windsor, ON. and WKNR (Keener) radio. They played lots of songs from the era but the one that stuck out with me was "Heros and Villans" from the Beach Boys. The intricate harmonies and layering of sounds still sounds beautiful to me. Maybe Pentatonix might be able to match their singing eloquence. I have to say, I was moved listening to this composition.
all for now. (really)
