My mom took a fall, cracked her pelvis and badly pulled muscles in a shoulder, this in the process of moving into a care facility at which to finish out her days; it never occurred to my dad, who's now living alone, to call and tell me this.

I am so sorry. Then I hope you (pl.) are as all right as you can be.

But then too there was an hour's river breeze as if out of dream at noontide, and a late return visit from the geese with their five goslings, and then just as I tell of them here the tap tap tap of a flying beetle against this computer screen and my chest, harbingers of requickening, of life's insistence; the distinct blessing of an enquiring friend. Perhaps it's really so, or can be, that all manner of things....

Goslings are not to be discounted.
