Dear Primo,
I decided not to send
this message to Goldie without your clearance.
Let me know what you think. Ted called and talked at length. He seemed
relatively sincere. Visit to the doctor today has me exhausted. I am going to
hit the bed.
Love,
Mom
Dear Goldie,
I hope that someday
you will welcome my wish to say, Love, Doris. It has hurt so much not to be
able to narrow our ideological gaps. You and my son love each another. I want
to love you as well. Enough said
tonight, I'm not all together.
You might want to tell Primo that throughout this day not one health care worker, including docs, RNs,
and subordinate personnel knew enough to say "lie" vs. lay. When we
saw Maria for a brief time with Jack on Sunday, we asked how things were going
at FAU, and she enthusiastically responded "good," instead of well.
One is either fur or agin maintaining English usage standards. The most egregious
example I ran into recently was a quotation by billionaire, Mayor Michael
Bloomburg of NYC wherein he talked about young people "graduating
college."
Primo answers.
It’s not about not
agreeing on politics, Mom. Goldie and I don’t agree on politics and love each
other. If it’s not a problem for me, it shouldn’t be problem for you guys. This
is not about narrowing “ideological gaps” and you guys know it. Her politics
should not matter to you. She has never brought them up to you. If she is
willing to accept your politics, why can’t you accept hers? You need to decide
if you want a relationship with me because a relationship with me includes
Goldie. If you and Dad can’t bring yourselves to welcome her and treat her
nicely, then you will not be seeing me.
Wow, go Primo. Proud of his strength. Know it's difficult (note, i did not say "hard" - do i get extra points?) Am so sorry that you two lived all this drama for so long. It's a terrible thing that the death of your in-laws was such a relief.
ReplyDeleteThat answer doesn't even make sense. If she wasn't "all together", why not wait until she was and send you a proper response? Also, as someone who cannot help nitpicking other people's English but who HAS learned to keep it to herself - Bloomberg, with an E.
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly, great response from Primo!
