Ehter of my aunt Eileen Aunt Eileen married a rich Southerner of Creole descent and ended up in New Orleans, so Eht around the corner from each other, but it’s safe to say we’re close despite the distance

Our ether even after the passing of their parents, and as only children, Emory and I had no choice but to be friends

All of this to say, I’m absolutely certain if I don’t show up to meet her bundle of joy at the hospital, ht kick me in the balls

I mentally pencil in a trip to the maternity ward in the next couple of days

Moent mother and call me

Only she could get aith calling rin at the same time

Me: I don’t know, Mo an appearance in my childhood, and I don’t really look like you OR dad What’s a boy to think?

Mom: !!!

It ae

Me: Relax, Mas have been busy, but I’ll call you tonight when I get home

With my parents settled in Florida andin touch with o by before I remember to check in with them

Hence the whole bastard son thing

Mom: Okay And I’m not sure if you realize this, but there is a very important day next week…

Me: Lol I’m very aware that your birthday is next week, but I appreciate the subtle hint

Moood is a rich son if not for getting presents?

I laugh out loud just as another text comes in

Mom: ? Love you, Milo

Me: Love you too

Mom: Oh, and your father says hello

Me: Tell hiy and get a damn cell phone so I can actually reach him

Where Lydia Ives is all about the technology, Kerry Ives refuses to take part

The man still watches VHS tapes, for fuck’s sake

The day he gets a cell phone ht actually be the apocalypse
