still the Julie Show

Marquetta’s funeral it is the oddest I have seen held not in her hometown, but several hours away in a place she has not lived for fifty years most of her friends are in their nineties they do not drive, cannot get to this place even their children do not drive well, for they are in their seventies two of her children planned this fiasco without telling their three siblings it became the Julie show Julie is the youngest, it has always been the Julie show Julie is the main speaker, she speaks about herself I, I, me, Me, me, I I am successful. I am glorious. I am great. I am astounded. When will Marquetta’s name be mentioned? It is not mentioned at all. I stare at Julie. She has not changed. It is still the Julie show.

Dear Caren, It is sad that a person believes themselves to be the most important person in the room, especially when there should be a celebration of the person who passed. Well said and inked! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
