MaTante's Door
They are at MaTante's door from sun up to sundown. Before morning ablutions, before and after breakfast, during recess period, before and after lunch and throughout the rest of the day. On weekends and holidays their presence is constant. They are there for countless reasons-- I have a stomach ache-- I didn't get to eat-- I need some oil for my lamp-- can I watch television with you? someone stole my soap-- I have no shampoo-- my shirt is ripped-- look at my report card-- he beat me-- can I have some crackers? Even when MaTante shuts the door for the night they linger just in case she steps out one more time.

Ma Tante,
ReplyDeletePwoje Espwa is certainly blessed having you @ cASTEL pERE
Pe Mak is fortunate to have had you to help him & the kids all these years--
We know how hard it is for you to have people @ your door day & night, all needy & desperate for some help when @ the end of the day you need time just to relax
Merci-
for all you do for everyone
