I really liked this interview because it had a definite ending . 1010 would feel comfortable again . <| sep |> Yeah that was a great letter to your father . I have a feeling he is going to come around . I hope so . My Dad died of a heart attack 4 years ago . I really miss him ! My sister died 2 years ago . We were best friends . I ' m always upset about her death and get emotional just thinking about it . It was sudden and extremely traumatic . This time of year is tough for me . My dad was accepting and wonderful . My being intersex helped . I ' ve been to Lone Pine many times but it ' s always just a quick stop on our way to Mammoth . That long drive up 395 past big pine and bishop . I was last there 2 years ago . Me and my mom and brother went to mammoth after my sister died as a nice getaway . I ' ve been going to mammoth since I was 5 . My dad had a buddy who owned a 3 bedroom condo there . He would let us stay anytime we wanted for free . So I went for the summer and for the winter . I have a huge fondness for the eastern Sierra . I ' ve never been to Death Valley . Did you climb Mt . Whitney ? Hugs .
