On our anniversary, June 21, I made sure to give her a small pink canoe which I found on Etsy. That earned me a punch to the arm, which completely mys...ified our children.About a week after my thirty-fifth birthday, I was dragged into an amusing conversation with my eldest. I was sitting at home in my recliner contemplating an early nap when I heard Riley ask Kelly something. I wasn’t quite sure what, but my eyes were mostly closed, and I was starting to fade out.Kelly answered, “Well, your. ”Elsa asked, “I’m embarrassed that I don’t know the cause we’re supporting other than something at City Hospital.”I nodded, “Forgive me. This is for the City Hospital, in particular a new pediatrics wing focused on children’s cancer. Just so you know, ‘we’re’ giving ten million to the cause. You ladies are haloed in on that donation, so enjoy the luster. I’m serious about the cause. I had an associate years ago that lost a child to leukemia and the illness and death made a huge impact on me not. He felt bad about that, because they had been friends, and he missed her company. Dee could hold her liquor as well as most of the guys Tom knew, and she had become part of Tom's circle of drinking buddies. Even though she was the only female, Dee fit in with the group easily. Because she wasn't very feminine, she didn't cause any of the tensions that an attractive unattached woman might normally cause in a group of hard-drinking guys. She wore her hair very short, had no breasts to speak of,. You will have your pension free and clear plus anything else you can make between jobs for me." That sounds like a pretty good deal," he said."Oh course it does," I replied."Oh by the way there was a cleaning crew headed into the project unit Jerome vacated. They almost passed him on the way out they were in such a hurry. They must have just been waiting for him to leave," Jerrod said."I know. They were waiting on a wire like vultures. But it is done now and we are clear." I'm glad that it is.
