Dear Lord... by Elizabeth A. Price Saturday, October 09, 2010 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan I recently lost my Aunt Gussy and this is a make believe conversation with God...
Dear Lord… Dear Lord, I regret to inform you That Gertrude Gustava Swanson Kaut Whom you claimed on September 16, 2010 Has been recalled. A grievous error was found with that model. She had the “I haven’t read all the books I wanted to” defect. Kindly return her so that this defect can be corrected. Oh, yes Lord, I know my request is pure selfishness. I know her heart gave out, but her spirit never did nor her Unconditional love, nor her quiet strength, nor her sense of Humor, nor her ability to tell me when I was wrong. Oh, I will see her again someday. But Lord, that’s not the answer I wanted. Yes, Lord I will work on being less selfish, less Impertinent? What? Less ungrateful? But…less impatient? Less whining? But how can I do all this without my Aunt Gussy?

I don't believe your make believe. The minute you scribed it God knew, although he probably held the pen. I'm very sorry for your temporarily lost Aunt Gussy but your offering here made me smile a tiny bit. No offense intended. Patrick
