Mrs. Smith
Mrs. Smith never said a bad word to or about anyone. EVER. It amazed me how she could say
nothing. I was more the ‘gum ball’ type. MY thoughts rolled off my tongue
before they were fully formed in my mind. (But that’s another story for another
time.)
I asked her once why she never had a response to what I
thought were some very harsh and unkind words said to her. She just smiled and
with a twinkle in her eye said, “Oh, don’t you worry. I have letters I’m
leaving to be delivered after I’m gone!”
For weeks after she died I was quite nervous to go to my
mailbox…… as far as I know no one got a letter, at least not the ones I thought
deserved them.
Ha ha :D
ReplyDeleteYou paint a lovely picture of Mrs Smith. However now I'm left wondering what the poor lady endured.
ReplyDeletehihi ... I LOVE your little stories, you tell them so well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get the last word!
ReplyDeletehmmm....what a great idea...saving harsh words until later! it would make it harder for them to have a comeback!
