Dear R,
You infiltrate most of my days, and I consider this a huge improvement. Why must you be so crazy? Or, rather, why must your crazy be so consistently hostile? Don't you know Crazy is supposed to go up and down? Where are my ups??
Day 1, I hate your crazy. Like an invisible electric fence, laid in frantic zig zags. You call to me in baby voice sing song, electric jolts still surprise me.
Day 2, my space, my fence, no more collar. I love each year, each holiday, each person in my life more now that I don't hear your voice. I love that I found a compromise that keeps you away from me, and eases my guilt. Writing letters, yes still for now, phone calls, no.
Day 3, Your voice sends me into a small ball, trapped way up high in that spider web. I get stuck there sometimes. It's hard to forgive myself for not being stronger than your voice.
Day 4, Frankly, I've been forgiving you since I could speak, and it's getting old.
Day 5, Someday, mail and packages won't give me a panic attack.
Day 6, I don't want to attend your mother's funeral with you. I am pretty sure I don't have to. Man, I must look like a bitch right now. Too bad I don't care.
Day 7 and Day 8, welcome to Libra Land. Enough said.
Day 9, I can not think of a single thing I haven't tried, sometimes, you just have to let go.
Day 25, Because I'm adaptable, and great at ducking projectiles.
Day 26, Never, I am really stubborn. This life is mine Motherfuckers, and you'll take it over my dead body. Plus, I am a great self-entertainer.
Day today, Something positive that we share. Thank you for being a dog person and introducing me to the Greatful Dead. I love whoever you are within all that nastiness.
Love, your daughter, Patty, Pearly, XT

Nice!
Wow.......that was intense
Thanks guys!
I like that you pulled it all together as Day 14!
The biggest annoyance with this post was that horrid, "you are my hero" song playing in my head.
But, thanks, I've been trying to compile these thoughts for a while.
Dammit, that song is in my head again!
