He climbs in the bulldozer and drives up Lisa’s walkway steps and porch. Who had to pay for that my grandparents? They continued to make up excuses for him, but he was coming to be a bit much for two people in their late 60’s so they tried a boarding school. Maybe that would straighten his butt out.

You may not believe me but I have changed and I wish you would allow me to show you the new me. I will continue to write you in hopes one day you might feel differently. Tell me niece I said hello.
