I remember when I was in high school setting in the auditorium listening to a guest speaker. It was a bitter sweet feeling because I wasn't in class but I also wasn't having fun. I don't remember much; but what I can recall is this guy started to rant about how if you ever find yourself incarcerated people will forget about you. Naturally this pissed me off to the point where I made a promise to myself. And I'm sad to say that I have only kept half of that promise. Jammie I truly do apologize. Please don't feel like I have forgotten about you because I haven't. I will be honest I've let so much come between me and writing/sending this letter. All kinds of things have happened from being hospitalized to going to San Francisco. These aren't excuses but examples of what's taking so much of my time. …show more content…
Even when time wasn't the issue; I struggled to write to you.
I have put pen to paper over five times and never sent a letter; for I could never find satisfaction. Something was always wrong but now that I think of it, I was being selfish. For you need to hear from loved ones now more then ever. At the same time this was discouraging for me because my job as a free women/pen pal/cousin is to encourage you during your unenjoyable experience. How can I achieved this goal with out screwing things up. With all of that being said Jammie you are truly missed. So much that I started crying as I was writing you and now the stupid paper is all wet. I know that we never really talked that much before due to our different lifestyles, but I don't want that to come in between the two of us. always remember that I do love you. Sometimes I find myself going down memory lane. I was jus thinking about our clubhouse three doors down from the yellow house. You showing me how to eating honey suckles and black berries, Or that time when you told me usher was I the attic. I was so naïve back then but I loved being around you
guys. Now that that is out the way. How are you? How do you fill the days? Do you get to see shatona? What happened with you and lovely? How do you feel emotionally/physically/spiritually/ mentally? Do you get to talk to your babies? Who else writes you? Do you need anything? Please be honest with because I'm definitely going to be honest with you. With that being said you can ask me anything, I am a open book. My answers might disappoint you due to the fact that I live a mostly sheltered life but I'm still happy to answer. I am going to shift the direction of this letter now. Starting with a short synopsis of what we have been up to! The last time I remember speaking to you it was three years ago and we where moving to Chicago. That's a lot to talk about and I don't know how to put in this letter. So please Bear with me. At first I was terrified of the city and now I'm in love. Chicago is like Tulsa on steroids. Yeah it's dangerous but the crime is indicative to the cities size. And if your smart you can stay out of trouble. We have lived in multiple neighborhoods like Inglewood and North Shore. We have also lived in Indiana and a few other Chicago suburbs. As of now we live in Chicago heights a quiet suburb it's about 45 minutes train ride to Chicago. By Illinois standards it's not bad but it's also not the city. The family is okay; mom has a boyfriend that she wants to marry. Eleesha is a senior in high school. Elijah graduated last year and we are going to apply to Stanford this year. as for Elijah's Heath he is still battling cancer but you would never notice it because he is so happy. And my mom took in a other girl by the name of Brooke (one of Eleesha's friends from school) because her mother kicked her out. So we have a new sister living with us. As for me; my battle with myasthenia gravis is surprisingly better. most of my day is consumed with caring for Elijah and taking the proper steps to apply to Stanford in October. If you want more details feel free to ask. coco pops I'm starting to run out of things to say. So just to review this letter. Remember I love so much! I'm constantly thinking/praying of(for) you and your situation. If you need anything just ask and I might be able to help you. As for my house hold we are fine so please don't worry about us. Honestly I don't know how frequently I will be able to write you but you are a priority to me. I hope this letter makes it way to you because my hand hurts, In addition I hope that you are back to me too. Until next time my old friends. Best of wishes and a little bet of kisses Nicole Stidham
Well, good afternoon everyone, for those of you that don?t know me my name is Lee and I?m Janie?s dad, and in keeping with tradition, it is my honor and privilege to deliver the ?Father of the Bride Speech?. Having to make this speech is one of the few opportunities in a married man?s life when he is allowed to do all of the talking...and I intend to make the most of it.
Humorous Wedding Speech by the Best Man When Daniel came to me and asked me to be his best man, it was a great honour but, when I looked at all the duties required of me, I felt he’d be better off choosing someone else. Then he offered me a fifty, but I told him that it wasn’t a decision that money could change. So then he offered me a hundred. Anyway, good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - My name is Rob and it’s my pleasure to be Daniel’s best man today.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I would like to start by thanking Frank on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind comments and echo the fact that they look wonderful and performed their role fantastically well, despite the inevitable and healthy rivalry that can sometimes occur. In fact, just before the service I overheard a furious sisterly argument about who was going to be first to dance with the best man. Understandable, I thought - until I got closer and heard them saying, 'You!', 'no, you!'
Dear my lovely family by writing this letter I'm letting you know that I'm doing well. I miss each and every one of you. I missed the smell of the fresh baked loaf of bread. It has been a very long lasting journey for me and my fellow mercenaries. We walked for almost four months. My feet is sore and I have blisters on them, but do not worry my love I am a man I can take the pain.
They say marriage is an institution and therefore, it seems proper that I am about to be married since some of you have been saying I should have been institutionalized for years.
Hey, I am sorry that I was an ass to you for the past couple of days that I was with you. I am sorry and I hope that you will forgive me. I will write you and call you whenever I have time to enjoy talking with you, okay? I just want to explain exactly why I was acting so mad and pissy to you for the last couple of weeks, I know I probably shouldn't but I have to be true to you. I was just so cared and worried that you will not have the same love for me when I come home to you. I know that I shouldn't have acted like that and that is why I am truly and deeply sorry for making you hurt on both the inside and outside, but you must believe that my love for you will either stay the same or grow because without you I am lost.
Good afternoon, let me just start by saying that the kindness, support, friendship, and love extended to me and my family during this difficult time has really touched my heart- we are sincerely appreciative!
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I must inform you that I’ve had quite a heavy night and I’m still feeling a little fragile. So please spare a thought and try not to clap too loudly during my speech because I’ve got a dreadful hangover and a splitting headache. You’d think I’d know better than to be out drinking in the early hours of the morning the night before a big wedding - but David’s a good friend (mate) and he needed some company.
Although I appreciate every support that you have provided throughout my lifetime, I would like to emphasize your help during my high school years. I am truly thankful for your patience when I was facing academic difficulties. Rather than becoming angered by some of my academic failures, you have always cheered me up and encouraged me. This helped me to become more motivated into my academics so that I was able to make up some of the failures I have made.
Good (whatever time it is) Ladies and Gentlemen of Congress, Thank you for your time to listen to what I have to say.
Friends, family, teachers Pastor and Mrs. Donley, thank you for being here today. I can’t thank you all enough for the things you’ve done for me and the ways you’ve all helped me in life. From all of the chapel messages I’ve heard from Pastor, all the English lessons from Mrs. Gerbitz, all the math lessons from Ms. Amy, especially the geometry, which I still don’t think I understand, and all the great times and life lessons I’ve learned from my classmates and friends, I can truly say I am thankful. Most of all, I’d like to thank my parents. Dad, you’ve always been there for me. If I ever needed advice on something I wouldn’t hesitate to go to you. You always knew what to say and when to say it to make me feel better. You taught me many different things in life, especially a great work ethic. Mom, what can I say? You’re my mom. As much as I may have annoyed you with different things I’ve done, you’ve always loved me and wanted what’s best for me. I love you both so much and can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me.
There are a few things I want you to remember before I end this letter.
Hello, everyone. First I’d like to thank my friends and family and everyone who came here to listen today, I just hope you can make something out of this few minutes that we’re gonna spend together.
Anthony, I thank you for all the fun times we have spent together even if they were short lived. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that you must have been an angel sent by God to help me grieve and become a strong willed woman because no one has ever been able to help me see the light like you could. Clouds of darkness shadowed over me no matter what anyone else would say, but you made me smile with just your presence. You didn't have to say a word; everything was okay when you were beside me.
Anthony, I hope you now see that it was never going to be that easy – which brings me onto your stag night.
