Radclyffe familyYEAR 61 The family adopts a cat that one of Gareth’s co-workers couldn’t take with her when she moved. She’s a Siamese named Lulu who always tries to get outside the house, loves to run and slide on smooth/hard floors, and hates the mail carrier. YEAR 62 Ender start exploring Islam, which was your maternal grandparent’s religion, to understand it more. He’s not particularly interested in following a faith system, but is enjoying reading and researching more about it especially in light of the art of the Muslim world.YEAR 63 Gray, who takes after Gareth in his ability to tell an entertaining story, enters a writing contest and wins! His award was a $2000 scholarship and admission to a writer’s workshop with a well-known fiction author. His family is very proud of him, and Ender says he can’t wait to read his first book.YEAR 64 Maeve, Ender’s oldest sister, passes away from breast cancer. She’d been a major part of his life and a great help to him over the years, emotionally and practically, and her loss is a great one. His friend Meg continues to be someone he can lean on and talk to as he’s now the head of the Radclyffe family.YEAR 65 Ender takes up chess, a game that their daughter Betony is very good at, which makes sense given that she’s an engineering major.YEAR 66 Justus is in the hospital. He’s been having trouble breathing and the doctors discover he has a pulmonary embolism. He’s put on blood thinners. YEAR 67 Ender gets cast in a movie! He’s cast as an art instructor – of course – a small, pretty background part. He calls Nova to get some tips and has a grand time. YEAR 68 Ender decides to change something about himself. He grows his hair out more, enough that it curls behind his neck. Gareth thinks it’s super handsome and tells him he should’ve tried it out years ago!YEAR 69 Justus’ health is still poor, and has another pulmonary scare. Given that he lives alone, Ender and Gareth suggest that he come live with them so they can help him out and ensure someone’s around if he needs medical attention. It’s a bit weird for all of them at first, but Justus has his own space, and they become comfortable in each other’s company after a while.

I'm not doing well mentally. Living alone has left me very depressed. I decide to start going to some senior groups farther in town. I volunteer with a "Big Brothers Big Sisters" type organization to partner younger queers with elders in the LGBTQ+ community.
