Alice has seven sons,<\/p>\n
but six are actually hers.<\/p>\n
I just include myself,<\/p>\n
seeing that I am the one<\/p>\n
she calls whenever she needs<\/p>\n
something \u201cimportant\u201d done.<\/p>\n
Number 1 in her heart;<\/p>\n
number 1 on her speed dial.<\/p>\n
Master of nothing, I\u2019m a jack of all trades.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust Google it and get me a hammer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doctor, gardener, poet, psychologist,<\/p>\n
pool boy, chauffeur, secretary, chef,<\/p>\n
friend, personal trainer, greeter, host,<\/p>\n
beach buddy, delivery man, lifeguard.<\/p>\n
The list goes on<\/p>\n
like a rollercoaster without an end.<\/p>\n
We often finish each other\u2019s sentences,<\/p>\n
and we accept the never-ending salad bowl at<\/p>\n
Olive Garden as a challenge.<\/p>\n
She loves Shakespeare, lasagna, and<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s to die for,\u201d<\/p>\n
is uttered after almost every desert.<\/p>\n
I hope I have her energy when I hit 80.<\/p>\n
Just talking with her can make me exhausted.<\/p>\n
Everyone needs an Alice,<\/p>\n
because she makes life go on<\/p>\n
with laughter and love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
