Well, my job as a nanny is very rewarding, but extremely tiring. I turned twenty. If you can skip turning twenty and move on to twenty one, I highly suggest it. This is an obnoxious age. Then I went on a fun little trip with Miss Ariel. It was filled with laughter and dinosaurs. A few days later I met up with my Big for dinner and she introduced me to one of her friends from high school.
And then, just last week I received a horrific call. Curtis was at a Phillies game for a bachelor party. I was surprised when he called me. When I answered the phone all I heard was panting for a solid ten seconds. Then he tells me his friend was murdered. You may have heard about the savage beating outside Citizens Bank Park that took the life of a young man, and it breaks my heart to say my boyfriend was there.
I'm not going to go into detail because it isn't my place. But the media has gotten so much of this story wrong, and it doesn't help. Curtis is devastated, as are his friends, and I find myself struggling as well. I cannot understand how men can be so barbaric, violent, and evil. It saddens and sickens me.
Through this, I have found great comfort in my animals. Time and time again they have come through for me. But, I hope you understand my absence. Please keep us in your prayers, we need them.
Karen, I'm so sorry that this all has happened. I will surely keep you, Curtis, all those affected in my prayers.
