Flaming June's Love

Do you ever wonder if the things that cross YOUR mind are anything close to what OTHER people think about? I have memories of hearing voices mumbling when it was really quiet as a child. I remember thinking I had bugs in my ears because I could hear them marching. I was sure there were people that never made it to earth and were counting on me to think about everything in my day so they could live them with me. I remember telling myself not to think about certain "bad" things too long because SOMEONE would know. I recall feeling that my family really didnt like me but tolerated me until I went to bed and then they would all laugh at me. I would never look at someone I thought was ugly or dumb because I was afraid I would find myself to be in worse shape than they were.

Allie the oldest is the heir apparent in the kid kingdom. She has leadership skills if only leading the gang tot he game room or for a walk somewhere. Danny the oldest grandson is a strong silent and courageous young man. My brother Dan has led him in a direction to be all that he could be and be honorable. When my brother should be reveling in his sons bravery and manhood, he is sadly living out his second childhood I am afraid. Danny Jr is the man of the house and is taking care of his mom and Ben.

Funny we were talking bout the whole summer song thing and her first answer was these guys. I played it ain came Missi and we sang all the words as if it were yesterday. I asked them both what it reminded them of and they said. You Mom. Just you and us going in the black car singing our hearts out going out the mountain to see nana and Pop. Well then I did ok. Missi then added, Mom I only have good things to remember. Why do you worry so much.? (Umm well I divorced your dad was piss broke, had few friends and felt like a total failure.?) "I dont know Miss I guess we did ok then huh?" "Yeah I wouldnt do things any different" We will be ok. No matter what we do.
