| When we think of you, we think of your quick wit and great humor. We think of your deep silence because you kept your thoughts mainly to yourself. We thought of it as a Klusmeyer trait. You thought for a long time before making a decision. You never spoke too much of what you were going to do or what you had done. You seldom complained or expressed your dislikes. You recently said you didn't like cooked carrots. When you were a very young child, you hid in a closet for a long time because you had been wrongly accused of something you didn't do. We didn't know where you were.You never complained when your mother substituted in your third grade classroom for three weeks, but the look on your face was obvious. You never complained about your many injuries, the deep burn you received when you, tried as a teenager to someone's motorcycle and tipped over, your many scraps, bruises and road burns you received from bicycle wrecks while riding or racing. The broken leg you received when speed skating at the Pan Am Plaza downtown. You spent several months recovering at our house. One time, when your leg was getting better, you took off on your crutches without saying anything and walked with your cast, to your house, stayed a while and then walked back (four miles each way). You stoically took care of yourself, your bruises, scraps and burns. There were probably many others, you didn't show us. You never talked about your mental illness |
