But He Is My Cousin

But he is my cousin I insisted He would not have done that He is a great guy I said. He is reliable and dependable. There is no way! My husband said, "Someone changed the check. It was not me." I looked at the check. He was right, and it looked bad. A check I had written to my cousin for $35 said $350 and it had been cashed. I will call him, I offered. He is coming over my husband said. He said he would be here in twenty minutes. We only saw him once after that, at a wedding. He looked at his shoes Not at us Left early

Just dropped by to say that glad you are Maintaining first place on Community Poets. Be joyous, you really care about others!. You set an example for me. I realize people have time constraints. I don't know how you do it. You are a sunny and loving being of others, not of yourself. Congrats. Panagiota

Absolutely! Betrayal by a relative is rather sad; it breaks your heart actually.

It is sad, but it is happening. Integrity is something our children do not understand, for many do not have role models that demonstrate it.
