Being able to talk to my bio dad (Pops) today makes me happy. He's in SW Wa state, across the river from Portland. Haven't talked to him on the phone in about a year - he went deaf a few years back and got a cochlear implant 2 years ago and they've struggled finding a phone that works with his implant, so phone convos were very difficult. We've emailed and snail mailed a fair amount and the whole gang of them were going to come up in August but of course, COVID put the kaibosh on that. Pops got a new phone finally, that works much better with his implant, so it was nice to hear his voice today and be able to wish him Happy Thanksgiving.
Gonna video chat with my sister later, hopefully.
