It's Not Like I Didn't Think About It
But I had no Idea
It's not like I didn't think about it,
or that I had no reference point,
but the magnitude of the emotions
and the depth of my feelings for you
far exceed even my wildest imagination.
I'm so grateful to be your dad.
Thank you for showing me
what love means.

Belle of the Bayou
Bad move, cher. Not just the slip of her kitten heel on the rainy February cobblestones in the Fourth Ward. She got caught snooping. Detective Deleon clucked and strutted like a rooster in his rush to clear her from the scene, waving cigar smoke to and fro as he gesticulated amid the thick air of the speak easy. An experienced crime reporter, Marie knew better than to let the coppers catch her on the wrong side of the line, but curiosity had gotten the better of her.
