Incarceration follow-up + Going Postal

Interesting both comments on the "Incarceration" post assumed it was a "her". In fact, it was a guy. His whole quote in his first email to me was, "Can I ask you a question... this whole memory ward thing... why couldn't you do this at home? Why is it necessary to incarcerate and drug your mother?"

Whew. I crafted a response and we had quite an email dialogue for the whole day. I haven't heard back after that day's volley of communications. Perhaps I should share the whole thing I wrote back to him? It really gave me pause - I wanted to be rip-roaring mad, but I just wasn't. It seemed a genuine question. So I told him why I don't have her here at home.

Wende's postcards have not been arriving. She's sending, but now I'm finding them in mom's room - cards I have never seen. Nobody knows how they got there. Wende has notified the Post Office - they even gave her a case number. And they're going to get back to her this week. We're hoping nobody goes postal, but we're also kind of bothered that these cards, which give me a way to talk about Wende and whatever the picture on the card is about, when I'm visiting mom. Keep you posted.
