Memories and Condolences

My mother she loved me unconditionally
July 7, 2025
When I would come home from school Momma would be outside working on her clover grass she was so pretty but this boy Kevin Brown would follow me home it was so embarrassing when he would stop and talk to her about me. I would run in the house and wish he would leave, anyway Mom had a cute sense of humor
She said Sally you know that boy likes you. I couldn't believe Mom told me that. You can tell she got a kick out of his boldness.
