RESPONSE TO MARLANAS PEACE..

THIS IS AN OPEN LETTER TO MY SISTER MARLANA,
I CANNOT THANK-YOU ENOUGH FOR THE COURAGE IT MUST HAVE TOOK FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO WRITE AND EXPRESS WHAT I AM SURE A LOT OF US ARE ALSO FEELING THIS MORNING. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT MY HUSBAND AND I HAD A CONVERSATION IN THE CAR LAST NIGHT ON OUR FINAL DESTINATION HOME AND HARRY SAID ( AND I QUOTE SOME EXCERTS FROM THE CONVERSATION) FRAN, I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT PATRICK HAD MARLANA IN HIS LIFE. NOT THAT I AM TRYING TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM ANY ONE ELSE ....JUST THAT MY HEART ACTUALLY ACHED FOR THAT LITTLE GIRL LAST NIGHT. PATRICK AND I STARTED OFF OUR RELATIONSHIP ROCKY BUT THROUGH THE YEARS HE AND I HAVE COME TO LOVE AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. I AM SO GLAD THAT I HAD ONE MORE CHANCE TO SEE HIM AT CHRISTMAS AND AM NOW SO HAPPY THAT YOU FORCED ME TO ATTEND THAT PARTY AT CHRISTMAS AND ATTEND THAT TRIBUTE LAST NIGHT. I AM PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN RIGHT NOW! YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THAT GIRL AND MAKE SURE SHE IS INCLUDED IN EVERY FAMILY FUNCTION FROM THIS POINT ON AND I MEAN IT!
( TO THOSE THAT DO NOT KNOW MY HUSBAND AND ARE READING THIS HE IS A QUIET KICKED BACK GUY THAT DOESN'T SAY MUCH UNTIL HE'S HAD A FEW BEERS! ALSO HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TURN ON THE COMPUTER LET ALONE USE IT OR EVEN KNOW WHAT A BLOG IS!)
HE GOES ON TO SAY.....SHE IS THE ONE CONSISTENT PERSON I REMEMBER IN YOUR BROTHERS LIFE AND SHE IS NOW YOUR SISTER AND MINE TO. AND YOU TREAT HER LIKE THAT! AND ANOTHER THING...AS A MATTER OF FACT ALL THOSE PEOPLE THERE...YOU STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEM AND WERE GOING TO HAVE THEM HERE AT OUR HOUSE,THEY WERE WONDERFUL.
(AT THIS POINT WE ARRIVED HOME AND I TUCKED HIM INTO BED AND HE WAS ASLEEP IN MINUTES! LOL!) I HAD TO LAUGH BECAUSE THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ME IT SOUNDED LIKE ONE OF MY SOAP BOX SPEECHES!
THAT SAID THE ONLY THING LEFT TO SAY IS:
WE LOVE YOU MARLANA KIRK
