To: I see my hands

Are you being serious? Because I was looking at you as a sarcastic joke. Maybe it’s just in my nature to laugh at that crap.

To: Winstons Julia

Saw the movie Saturday with several friends and our grown children. I loved it.

My aunt worked as a maid for a prominent and well known family in Kansas most of her life without shame. They were very good to her and she spoke highly of them. She had a beautifully decorated room at their home for times when she helped with parties. They didn’t let her drive alone at night. They paid off her home and helped her daughter with college expenses. They paid her medical bills and funeral expenses. They also attended her funeral. I met the family when she’d take me to work with her. The patriarch got on one knee, shook my hand, and welcomed me to his home. His wife would tell me how pretty my dresses were.

My family has no shame in an honest days work for an honest days pay. My maternal aunt built a life for herself and a future for her daughter after her husband died.
