Let's Not Lose Our Heads About This...

Family.  What a loaded word it is.  It isn’t all about sitting around together at holidays saying, “Please pass the stuffing.”  Sometimes it’s about intrigue and backstabbing and making hard choices.  At least that’s been my experience.  My nephew seems to be upset with me, although I really don’t know why.  I guess I will have to do my best to explain this so that he will start to move forward, get some closure and all that stuff.  So here goes:

Jimmy — I was just listening to Sly & the Family Stone’s “It’s A Family Affair” and thinking about what you said about your Mum dying and all.

It really wasn’t my fault you know… but I understand how you feel because my Mum passed away too.  It isn’t healthy to hold a grudge though and I think we can both move past this if we try.  I know you don’t want to hear this but it isn’t like I didn’t give your Mum a chance.  Even after she tried to kill me (more than once!) I wrote to her and told her that if she would just admit what she did then she could obtain my favour!  I have to live with this too you know so don’t try to make me feel worse than I already do.  I am sure you would understand this if you ever had to face treason or a plot of some kind.

Tell you what Jimmy…

If I never have kids of my own (and that doesn’t seem bloody likely at this point!) I will name you as my successor!!!!  How does that sound luv?  Hmm?  Are we good now?

Hugs n Kisses

Aunt Liz

  1. Jimmy - you know how the Queen likes to keep everyone guessing! I think you will have to be good and remain in her favour or you might lose out. You also might want to keep this sort of news quiet or the Catholics will make short work of you.
