This one is for you, MOM


Michelle called me from the valley this past Friday and you would have thought there had been a death in the family. I could hear through the phone a flood of tears and emotion. She then proceeded with this----I am at Fiesta Mall. It has turned into the "Ghetto". I then asked, "Are you Ok?" She then said something like this.... "Dillards is closing! The place where we had so many memories with our mom. The place where she would take us shopping and spend so much money she probably didn't have. Dillards, the one place where she used to take me, you and Kati all the time. " I didn't know at this point if I should laugh or cry. Can you believe it, our family is so nuts. We then concluded after a few minutes that we really knew she was gone because Dillards at Fiesta Mall was going to be gone too. Holy Cow!!! We just might need to be committed for that sad and disturbing conversation.
