“Did you ask around?” We were all down. Couldn’t believe Evelyn was dead. Nobody had anything bad to say about her.,” Always a smile, patience, kind word, spry. We just talked to her. When she caught Covid the first time in 2000 on a cruise, one of the women from the island told her to only drink juice, eat fruit ‘Don’t give it anything to feed on.” Evelyn had the sniffles for a couple days and that was it. This time she catches Covid in November, has to go back to the hospital repeatedly cause she can’t breathe. They tell her she has the flu, puts an oxygen meter on her finger & sends her home. Then it’s bronchitis and tell her to get Benadryl, Tylenol. This visit she stopped breathing all together at midnight. Man. Covid my azz. Her grandson said he’s gonna ask about those embalmer clots they’ve been finding in live ppl. Then what?! She’s still permanently gone. She was planning her next cruise. I helped her pick out a Cherry tree. Malik said, “Yep. And so far every ‘black’ person I know has a social security # that ends in an EVEN #. What do u think it means?”
Grandma said, “Bless Evelyn. Sweet as pie. Never hit a lick at a black snake. That hospital didn’t even try. Well, could mean your # determines whether you get the gallows or the Easy Bake Oven”
