To Pastor D. Darrell
Church was
SO GOOD yesterday! You had the Holy Ghost fire. Thank you for being a true man of God. Thank you for not being a shady pastor. Be safe on your trip to London, and congratulations.
To my husband
I really love you. That is all.
To my momma
This whole "re-marriage" thing has not been the easiest thing for me to swallow (though I have been a trooper and kept that from you). It is difficult mainly because I am not overly fond of your choice of future husband. I don't understand why he would tell you that my brother & I are ghetto. On the contrary, I always thought I was a little too prissy for my own good. I don't understand his comment. And why would he tell you that? Didn't you raise us? That wasn't a compliment to your child rearing skills as far as I'm concerned. But I digress.
I'm so glad that you were surprised at your bridal shower on Saturday. I wish you all the best. I love you, and I want you to be happy. If he's the one that makes you truly happy, then I will attempt to welcome him with open arms.
P.S Thank you for waiting until we were both grown and out of the house before you started dating again. Many mothers don't have that presense of mind, and end up putting their daughters in a bad predicament. I love your love, your street-smarts, your knowledge, your wisdom, your sense of humor, and your committment to your family. I love you, lady.
To My sister in law
How are you gonna ask my husband if your kids can come back next summer??? Didn't you get the memo? YOU HAVE BURNED THAT BRIDGE BEYOND REPAIR!!!! Unless I get a word from the LORD, the next time your kids will see Chicago is when they get grown.
What kind of mother are you? Those kids have barely been home two weeks, and you're already trying to set up a place for them to go next summer? Wouldn't most mothers be so happy that their children are home, that they wouldn't even be able to imagine sending them away again so soon? But not you, huh? You're a different kinda mother, aren't you? If you weren't so pathetic, I would find you almost funny.
GROW UP!!!
And in case you didn't get it, the answer is a loud, and resounding...
NO.
To my Aunt Glo
You really looked out on my mother's bridal shower. Thank you so much. You really helped her to have a wonderful time, and I really appreciate that.
