A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Dear Elizabeth - Obviously, I'm not an atta-girl/boy guy. So, I feel the need to blab a bit about 'bites'; please ask me to delete if I'm being annoying. You have a lotta guts to be a middle school teacher - it sparks a memory. I was THE most incorrigible in Jr. High, ever. I had my name embossed on a chair in the V.P.'s office (probably still there). My only redeeming value was a story I wrote in Bone-Head English, receiving my only A+ ever. I've revised the story with our VocalBuckets, Kristen 'The Llama & Koala'. Currently, I instruct 'bigger kids' Pro Bono via Zoom. But, Elizabeth, they all say they know more than me; perhaps you can relate? Thank you for the nice memo. Please direct me to a couple of your favorite stories; we all have them. I would like to boost you up on 'Shout Out' if that would be okay with you. jay.in.l.a.
Keep up the great work!"
Lol, this was definitely relatable! I loved it!
