Serita

ok, so just before the guests came, serita figueroa, esq. a friend of ecw's mother called...to wish us well on thanksgiving...........now serita is quite a person, a lawyer from chile, who worked for chiquita banana out of cincinnati......she met my mother-in-law at a catholic senior citizen function of some sort, and they traveled some together........ecw's sisters always seemed somewhat jealous, and there was some talk of not inviting her to the wake after my mother-in-law's funeral....in fact, when i told my sister-in-law that serita had called, she laughed and asked 'what for?' i was taken aback by that comment, as i always thought that she was a breath of fresh air on the scene......always trying to get my mother-in-law out of the house and into something interesting...............she once brought my mother-in-law to danville for the band festival, and they stayed with us for a few days..............to the last she was trying to get my mother-in-law to commit to a cruise of some sort..............it was this decisive nature that my spouse's family had a hard time accepting.........they were suspicious of it, which was laughable, as serita had education and income far above that of my mother-in-law.....but she saw in my mother-in-law the desire to see the world and experience more than the television set had to offer.....i was really happy to talk to her today...when she asked about recent trips, i told her about spain, and then about my upcoming trip to paris....she said ' you always liked paris the best'.......you have to love a woman who knows that paris is your favorite place..........i am not sure that my own family quite understands that.............
