Ruthie,
Hey this is Lucy! Thanksgiving is in two weeks and you still haven't told Mom if you are coming home or not. You know how important it is to her to have the whole family home. Call me.
Ruthie,
It Mark. Look we both knew it wouldn't work. You're too good for me.
Throwing my purse on the counter I hit the erase button over and over again on my answering machine. Adding a post-it reminding me to call Lucy to the thirty or more other notes to self. So I'm too good for Mark, what that really means is he is tired of waiting to sleep with me. Well, he wasn't really my type anyway. Reminding me way too much of Vincent who I would rather forget. My first serious boyfriend and the first guy to cheat on me and be able to justify it.
Maybe I will go home for Thanksgiving this year. Its been two years since I finished college and I have skipped all non-present holidays since moving east. And knowing how Mom loves having the family there and I do miss them. The twins are almost all grown up and everyone else is married. And so I am actually going to return a phone call for the first time in months.
Dear Martin,
It's been a long time since you have visited. I hope you are well. Everyone would love to see you. As you know Thanksgiving is coming up next month, I would love to have you join us this year. I know that you may want to spend time with your own family, but know that we consider you part of our family and would love to have you spend the holiday with us. Just call and let me know. You are welcome to come for as short of or as long of a visit as you want.
Love,
Annie Camden
I guess it has been a while since I visited the Camdens. And I really don't think I want to spend another holiday with my dad and his new wife. I love my dad, really I do, it's just that his wife drives me crazy. Every time I see her I think of that girl Zoë from high school. It could have to do with the fact that they are about the same age. So I am going back to Glenoak and back to the family I always wished were mine. I imagine that all the kids besides the twins are married and have children of their own. Although I'm not even in a serious relationship and I am older than Ruthie.
Annie smiled as she realized that all of her children along with a few extras were going to make it home for Thanksgiving. Having decided that this was the last year she was going to participate in planning and cooking the meal before handing the job over to Lucy, she felt this was a perfect way to end her career in Thanksgiving festivities.
Well let me know what you think. That means review people. If you must flame make it more useful than 'you suck'. Thanks
