Rick and Gail Cummings arrived from Kamloops the day before me and were there to offer support to his mother and sister. They were not surprised to se... me, I discovered. Sharon and Deb had mentioned my help several times to them. I got a big thank you from Rick and a warm hug from Gail.Sharon was holding up well considering. I suppose it was because Ralph's death was not a surprise. She had time to prepare herself for the inevitable. At the reception after the ceremony and interment, I got some. Left her a couple of texts and trying calling her, but I didn’t get any response.I was sad lying on bed still thinking of it and was about to sleep suddenly my cell phoned buzzed saying a new message. It was her saying she couldn’t reply as she was busy with guests at home and she took what I said causally and told me that feelings like this are common at this age and asked me not to worry. She was happy for me being frank with her. This bought a sought of relaxation to me. I was no more guilt. ”Grace was embarrassed but she was not offended by his proposition because actually she had just such a scenario on her mind as an experiment to find out if she was compatible with black dicks poking her in her privates now that she was no longer white.“Hello, Billy, my name is Grace and I think that would be absolutely fabulous but you must wear a condom and don’t go anywhere near my ass because I am far too tight back there for any foolishness of any kind.”The black boy was startled at her. "You not only want to protect people from each other, you want to protect them from themselves. You want to change people's attitudes about things that you know will make them unhappy. You've been trying to change our attitudes about Mom. You... oh, of course! After Dad died, Mom wouldn't talk about him. If we mentioned him, she got real sad and very quiet. But lately, whenever she thinks of him, she's happy. It's almost like he's not really dead, he's just away on a trip and he'll be back.
