Dear Chile, <\/p>\n
Now, I did not want to come to you in this way. You know that I didn\u2019t girl. The fact is that you don\u2019t dream anymore so I can\u2019t visit like I used to.<\/p>\n
Y\u2019all think spirits are free. That\u2019s what y\u2019all think until it\u2019s y\u2019all body three ways separate- mind, soul, and spirit. <\/p>\n
Anyway, Dearest most stubborn Chile of mine, there\u2019s really no truth in turning over in graves. We are not magicians lifting embalmed bodies partially decaying. You know that we are under the earth.<\/p>\n
Chile, let me get to it before you throw this thing away. You only read two types of talking- no words or straightforward.
\nI\u2019m telling you Chile you have to take care of yourself. Be selfish. Be honest. The strength for everything and everyone else will come quicker than before. <\/p>\n
\u201cMary, that girl gone let them chill in kill her.. she just like you was bout that old man. \u2018Cept for her young.
\nMy mama says tell you that.<\/p>\n
\u201cRuth, let her ass learn. If she wants to be with us let her come on. We miss her don\u2019t we?\u201d James Smith still ain\u2019t got good sense. Yes he is your father. I feel your questioning.<\/p>\n
Clyde mostly hovers over his headstone wondering why he didn\u2019t get a walk in grave . We don\u2019t remember the name of the thang. Anyways, he just always waiting for y\u2019all to visit. Why don\u2019t y\u2019all visit? Why don\u2019t you and your brother visit?
\nYour brother and sister visit all the time.<\/p>\n
Big ma sys she knows that you gone finish that quilt and make us proud. And Ludie say, after she search for James, she say, she thinks you Gigi after her style. I tell her you remind me of me and here I am.<\/p>\n
Daughter, take care of yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
