Dear Grandma
Dear Grandma Delois, OMG! I miss you so much, let's start. How are you grandma? What's it like up there? Are there any crystal stairs? Clouds everywhere? I do wish you were still down here. Just being honest. You got to meet my oldest daughter. She was eight when you went away. Guess what? I had another baby. I have two girls now, you missed her by about a year. I did the math, I got pregnant with her on Halloween. Next July, she was here. You know what, I have something to ask because I wanna know. What happened that day? The day you had to go. They said the cause of death was a heart attack. By "they", i mean the hospital and doctors. Is it true? You were lying on the floor near the phone. Reaching for the phone to call for help, is that what you were trying to do? A small amount of blood was found near by. It was ruled natural causes, so no autopsy. But why? Yes you took a beta blocker, but did you have serious heart problems before? Less than a year in North Carolina before you died. So many tears we cried. Here in Baltimore you were good. It has been 9 years. I still can't read the obituary. I cry too much. I'm still sad you left me, left us. I love you so much. You mean the world to us, to me. I will see you again, until then, continue to rest in peace...

Dear, Fast-Food... (Except Chipotle) From the depths of velvety smooth chocolate milkshake oceans to the mountains of sodium-laden deep-fried goodies, I commend you for the variety of fare you offer. However, I condemn you for the magnetized clutch you've induced.

An Open Letter to Society
To Whom it May Concern, As a whole, America has come a long way. We have grown a lot the past to today. Slavery is always the elephant in the room. We are not allowed to speak on it. The subject is taboo. It happened, it is a part of our history. There's nothing we can do. I am a black woman, so slavery is a part of my life. My ancestors are majority black, a small handful are white. I visited the very plantation my ancestors lived on. I saw the living quarters, cotton fields, and so on. Small, dark and cramped are the adjectives I used while I was there. It is so unfair. But the past is the past, right?
