It was April 28th of 2017 in Maycomb a city of Alabama, Jean Louise was looking at the view of her neighborhood sat in a chair on the balcony of her house. On that day it was her birthday of 90 years old, and she knew that to reach that age healthy it isn't easy for anybody. She was remembering Jem and herself when they were kids playing with the old tire rolling down the road with Dill.
After that, she returned back inside the house. She started to read the news when the telephone rang, when she has picked up the phone she questioned:
"Who is it? "
"It's me, Jean Louise, Cecil. Happy Birthday! Sorry I can't go out to your party today, because I'm in a nurse home with some healthy problems" said Cecil Jacobs, an ex classmate of Jean Louise Finch in her elementar school's years.
"Oh, thank you, Cecil. No problem and how are you? "
"Old, with a lot of breathe problems and in a nursing home" Cecil made a joke to Jean Louise "but taken away my healthy problems I'm fine and you? "
Scout started to laught and after that she said
"I'm fine too. Taken away my old age and my fucking fragility, I'm good".
And then Cecil started to laught with Jean Louise and said:
"Take care of yourself, Jean Louise. Bye".
And then she said:
"Thank you, Cecil. Take care of yourself too, bye".
After to have spoken with Cecil, Jean Louise finished read the news and then get dressed to receive all the guests to your house to celebrate her birthday.
At the same time she finished to get dressed, her oldest son knocked in the door and he said:
"Hi, mom. It's me your son, Atticus Jr, with Carmen can we come in? "
And then Jean said:
"Yes, Atticus. Wait a fucking second..."
And in the outside of the house Carmen looked at Atticus Finch Jr with a bad face and questioned him:
"Is she going to start again? "
So, Atticus looked at her and in the same time Jean opened the door and said with a wheezy voice:
"I hate these fucking door, she's so heavy and it appeared that with the years past she turns heavier than before. "
And Atticus Finch Jr hugged her and said:
"Hi, mom! Firstly of all happy birthday, may all your dreams come true and that you have a lot of peace, health and happiness in your heart. That you continue to speak a lot of swear words, complain about everything and be these adorable person, love you".
And Jean Louise tanked her old son:
"Oh, thank you darling, I'm really flattered with your presence here, so how are you? "
"I'm fine, thank you. I and Carmen bought a gift from you, I hope you enjoy. "
When she picked up the gift, she said:
"Oh thank you darling, it wasn't necessary."
And then she smiled to him and Carmen hugged:
"Happy birthday, mrs. Jean Louise. "
And Jean Louise said:
"Oh thank you. "
After that she questioned:
"And Stanley and Cassandra? Where are they? "
Cassandra and Stanley are the grandchildren of Jean by part of Atticus Finch Jr, Stanley has 31 and Cassandra has 25.
And then Atticus asked:
"I think they'll get soon, Stanley with Helena and Bart and Cassandra I think she'll be here with her boyfriend Jack in a short time. "
Bart was Jean Louise's first great-grandson he has born in ten months ago.
And then she opened more the door for her oldest son and his wife get entered in the house.
So, Jean questioned to Atticus, curious:
"So, what's the gift? "
"Opened it that you'll discovered. "
When Jean Louise opened the gift she looked disgusting. It was a teapot, when she looked to the gift she get offended and said:
"But this gift is so old! Hell! Your great-aunt Alexandra was a person that could like that, but unfortelly she's not here with us anymore. However, It's me and I'm not old at all and I don't even like tea"
After she said that his oldest son countered her idea:
"But, mother. You are already old and I admit I'm old too, this is not a problem and in these teapot you could drink a lot of others drinks if you want, like coffee for example, that I know you like. It's not tea necesseraly. And Aunt Alexandra just passed away in a couple years ago, I was only two years old when she passed away. You have to live the present day, not the past, we just spoken it with you. Think what father would like. "
And then Jean Louise thinking about it and said:
"Ok, son, I'm sorry. I know you miss so much your father, he was a good man. Having an idea I used to play with him and my brother here in the backyard and I meet him for my first time here. Dill was a good man, I miss him too so much."
Jean Louise has started to crying and his son hugged her and said:
"Oh, mother. Don't be sad. I know how solitary you feel in here, we just have spoken to you about this. You should go to a nursing home, there you shouldn't be feel very lonely as here. "
And then she stopped to crying and said:
"You don't understand, darling. That's my shelter, my story, even when your grandfather passed away I decided to stay here and with the help of your father reform the place and start over from scratch. I'm sorry but if you put me in that, I will never forgive you for do that thing to me. "
And then the son looked to her mom and decided not to talk about this again and helped her to prepare the tables and the chairs to put in the garden, after that the guests started to arrive and the party began.
