I know that----but you mentioned feeling hopeless after she is "gone." Which might be 30 or more years from now.

Well. At the moment, I can't see a future if my Mum dies.

She would be around 110 years old by then. Mind you. I would be about 90. My Mums older then me.

I've known my Mum all my life and she is lovely.

Three sons. Nine grandchildren through one son. (Is not me! Haha! Actually eight grandchildren and one step grandchild... I think that is how to describe).

My mother is probably not going to be around in 10 years. She’s 85 years old.

I will rely on our good memories.

Most of creativity is derived from memories...good and bad.

I can't think to talk about if my Mum died. I would likely just get on the bicycle and keep cycling and pretend it didn't happen.

Have you seen Forrest Gump?

I’m very much like him.

I hope I didn’t upset you.

You’re a good guy, Mountain Goat.

I feel like you’re smarter than I am in some ways—but that you might not know, in your heart, your smarts.

No you didn't upset me. Not sure why you said that.. No. I'm not upset.
Smart? Umm. I don't feel smart, but I know I am a little abover average intelligence. I seem to hone in my intelligence to certain areas where other areas I may be seen as not as smart. I guess this is normal foe everyone?
Most people are socially smart. I don't think I am, but I can come across as sart in certain circumstances. But not so much in a social way. I have in the past done rather well in job interviews I think. Neveer got most of the jobs though as I would be too open and end up satying something stupid.. Oops!

I just wanted to make sure.

I'm glad you know you're smart in at least some areas. That's very important for you to know.

I'm not "socially smart," either. But I get by.

You are a genius. You were able to explain lots of things I didn't know and answer lots of my questions.
