Max Leavitt: It Was A Life Like This

 

Retirement

Max and Jennie to Paul 3/67

Two of their sons visited Florida but spent only a limited time with their parents. Max is both aggrieved and understanding.

MAX: But of course, the reason, the main reason, what annoys and bothers us, is, we are away from the children! The grandchildren come and spend the holidays with the grandparents, we are getting jealous! It's only natural. I hope our children will grow up to the extent that they'll understand it, what we are missing.

For instance: Ben and Florence were here, they were here nine days, and all that they were here with us was only Friday night for supper. No, that's not enough, that's not enough.

Herbie was here for four days and he once was with us for two days. This I can understand, actually we had 50% attendance from Herbie.

But don't take me wrong, we don't impose on the children, they gotta go their way and let them make success, and we'll enjoy their success – believe me you know that we will enjoy their success, even at the price that we have to be lonely. There's no sense of going through in, make a statement that we did good, that we get an apartment, or isn't good; it's done, and cannot be amended, and we're trying, believe me we're trying to make the best. And not to bother the children, try to be good.
