One big Happy Family
My wife is in the other room and I can hear her chatting on the phone with some family member in Colombia . It’s more than a familiar experience for me as this has been a daily occurrence all our married lives ….. even way back when… when we couldn’t afford the exorbitant overseas phone charges. You see, there is not one single thing on God’s green earth more important to my wife than those family members .
I spent most of my life in a hardcore construction worker environment surrounded by and using foul language that would mark me indelibly as a ‘blue collar” . Embarrassing is it may be I will ask your forgiveness should I suddenly revert back to that offensive language of my uneducated blue collar roots.
Recently the wife and I worked for a woman who had a visiting sister in the home. Both ladies being of strong political beliefs . I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation between them about the younger sisters son.
” I understand how you feel….. you lost your Son when he became a Democrat “
” Will you be able to forgive him ?”
My own family has never been near as close as my wife’s but even so I feel the need to revert back to my roots to tell you that ….
” I just cant wrap my fucking head around that question”
what the fuck have we become?
Who knew we would have so much to learn from what we consider the Third World ?
