Family Meeting

The dreaded day of the family meeting arrived Elder planning, liquidating assets and dispersing 84 years of belongings Excuses, postponing, manipulations, whining and reasonings-- Valid each and present Partners in crime, codependent family structure with high disfunctional communicaton skills, L-O-V-E spelled out many times like the sword of truth and breastplate of righteousness. Words were pitched and hurled then stroked like a fine persian cat with silken fur. At the end of the day, with the word pile left in the floor like discarded dung; I tucked my tail and departed. I hope against all odds that tomorrow will be a better day and the grim reality of lost freedom will be swallowed with honey and accepted. Instead of preparing for battle with gloves and sword. Until the stretched car takes you away, be peaceful my love, L-O-V-E, spelled with emphasis on the OH OH. My freedom is going quickly, along with my parents freedoms to chose and plan, I will become responsible to see they get a bath, meals, medical care and to the store. Will I have time for me? Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my words to sweep Away from the bitter heep I pray the lord my heart to keep!
