That’s Crazy

          know  if  she  was  prepared  for  the  task.  I  just  kept  assuring  her

          everything would be alright. Giselle had not eaten one bite or slept
          one wink.


               Giselle would tell me that God has always spoken to her through

          words  found  on  billboards,  bumper  stickers,  advertisements,  and
          children. She'd always felt that when in a state of confusion something
          would appear with God's answer.


               As Giselle continued to vent to me, we pulled up to a stoplight

          and the van in front of us had a bumper sticker in bright red letters:
          "Thou shall keep the ten commandments." She looked at me and we

          both  had  the  same  expression  on  our  faces:  God  is  telling  you
          something. I then kept telling her that she needed to eat because she

          had not done so in too long a period of time. Five minutes later a bus
          pulled beside us that had an advertisement stating eat 5 healthy meals

          a day. We just fell out laughing.

               Giselle spoke with Big Poppa’s discharge planner who indicated

          that Big Poppa would go to a skilled nursing facility for at least 100
          days. So, she knew she had at least two months to put a plan of action

          in place.

               Crazy Leroy received her revised agreement and contacted Giselle

          at work to inform her that he felt "uncomfortable" signing the new

          agreement and they should just sell the property. She told him it did
          not matter if he signed the damn agreement or not, that she and her

          daddy would be moving into the house on September 1. Crazy Leroy
