Taft’s Disease
I have it………your Son has it to
so much to see….so much to do
some people call it “Wanderlust”
and I call it “Taft’s disease after a grandfather
I saw him once in my life on my way hitchhiking to Los Angeles
Made a few calls and found him
opened the door and he never opened the screen door
told him who I was and he said “well it was good to meet you” and closed the door
he knew my mothers mother look enough to hike her forest and was gone…….a feather in the wind
I never knew my grandmother she died when my mother was 2 years old
say it was pneumonia………I say from a broken reputation and a broken heart
things were different then
I stay away from the hike and run and just go to see and move…..for us with the disease it’s soothing
this is the way it goes with those infected….. you will deal with it and exhaust yourself until you find a place you fit in and don’t feel constrained
Or like me you will do some of each and what isn’t exhausted will have to be dealt with later… like I’m doing now
don’t expect people to understand….. they aren’t like you……. Like addicts or non ……
Taft’s disease had been in remission for a long time
but finally I had the opportunity and courage to imbrace it and my therapy is the road

Very good. It’s too bad we never got to know him or our grandmother.
