She's In Heaven

"Dad, did you ever have any other girlfriends other than Rita and my mom...?" My receptive and sweet son asks me.

"Yes, I did. I had other girlfriends. But only two wives, Rita and your mother."

"Who were the other girlfriends?"

I had to think for a few seconds...

"There was Erin, Nancy, Jill and Victoria. There were a few others, but not so serious. Victoria was the most serious."

"What was she like?"

"She was sweet, but a mess most of the time. She wanted to get married, but I wasn't ready for that."

"Why?"

"She scared me sometimes..."

"Where is she now?"

"She's dead..."

"Why, what happened??"

"She took her own life..."

"Oh, Dad, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay. She's in heaven with her mom now. She tried to take her own life a few times when we were together, and that's why she scared me."

"Wow, Dad, I didn't know all that. That makes me sad."

"Me, too. But, I think you're old enough to know the truth about my past..."

Girl Who Deserves A Chance

 Ryan, You asked me once, "Why do people love me?" I'll tell you why... Your energy is what makes people fall in love with you. It's how you make them feel. It is not your body, your money or your looks that make you magnetic. What makes you unforgettable is how you transform the hearts of people around you with your simple presence. That is your energy, that is your power, and that is why people love you. Jessica,     the girl who deserves a chance...

Backstage Stooge

 Dear Ryan,  You're delightful and a real treat to be around, a regular jack who's so down to earth. What you see is what you get with you. No pretenses, no false fronts, no ulterior motives or ill intentions. You're one to say what you're thinking with your eyes, you can never hide behind lies, and your sighs give you away. Although you're an exceptional actor, you shed those roles only to recreate yourself whenever you feel you need to. I suspect you've got some secrets and perhaps you very well could be a demon in disguise. But I seriously doubt the dark side of you isn't just as beautiful as the light side. You're no one's fool and you're fooling no one. You've simply got to walk in any room and your energy speaks for itself. You're one of a kind, and don't tell anyone, but I think my heart might become rather fond of you. Your co-star and backstage stooge, Jonah D.
