Dearest Amelie Beth Harris Mcgeehan

Dearest Amelie Beth Harris-Mcgeehan If royalty moost likely spotlight ye would dodge nonetheless anointed, deemed, granted... within humble abode of your lodge most righteous, magnanimous, gracious... among confrère noblesse oblige. Methinks twas foolhardy of me when joost a mere young man (more'n half agoo me lifespan) ye always acknowledging me birthdate, (although tomorrow a day early, and dollar long) regarding thirteenth of Jan. Your sisterly affection doth buoy inside mine heart and soul first born of three offspring begat courtesy Boyce and Harriet Harris handed lead role par exemplar to officiate (figuratively) filial obeisance, particularly when older analogous to foal abiding maternal horse sense, thus I extol. As your brother, rhetorical question I ask how often did thee deserve to bask within metaphorical sunshine to exceed regarding care and concern emotional task tenderly "mothering" kith and kin, ye divinely didst shew, especially yours truly now he dost rue he rarely did communicate - hermetically within his hermetically sealed queue detached, isolated, outsourced, I may as well lived in Peru (think Machu Picchu) courtesy schizoid personality disorder leavened, prepared, and sprinkled with obsessive compulsiveness for good measure ooh and aah barely registered consciousness, and knew not what blessedness constituted hew as tremendous precious jewel few chore birthdays promise with clear clue how ye go above and beyond call of sisterly duty aware remaining life (mine) would be far inadequate to accrue equitable devotional, emotional, and financial recompense. Hence feeble attempt to distill some essence with words that appear incomprehensible and dense, cuz writing more comfortable verses talking, which often jabbering (more like a wookie) (think fictional hirsute humanoids in Star Wars universe) often makes no cents. Tempus fugit fleets at light speed quasi immortality conferred as generations rebreed all the while unwittingly transmitting indeed idiosyncrasies, mutations, quarks... such as greed myopia, selfishness... at death sorrow doth bleed.
