Always the last to know…

If you know Mel, you know that he can be a “last minute” kind of guy.  I’m often in a rush to get home to shower and “make an appearance” somewhere because Mel gave me about a 15 minute warning.   I’m not present at many of his events simply because he failed to mention them to me.  Others will graciously compliment some act of generosity, a successful motion, a great motivational speech, all of Mel’s and I try not to stare in complete ignorance like a deer in head lights.  I’m always the last to know.  He’s not big on details, and frankly, he doesn’t have the time to tell me about every little event.  When we do convene, we chat, laugh, discuss the girls and our family life mostly.  I’m very often left out of the major details of funerals, city life and his clothing company.  It works quite well this way, however,  it is nice to pass along some of his accomplishments and brag sometimes.

Case in point.  A friend sent this link to me today, which I had no idea about.

Mel is quite a mover BUT he has you as his rock. The 2 of you are a wonderful team.
