My ramblings....

M&M

Mary and Merrin get together every Tuesday afternoon to write seasonal cards, including Tim Horton's coupons, for the poor college kids around the provence who used to attend their church.
Most are gone now, far away from those 15 year old sports they used to be. They're out of sorts with the church, actually they don't even think about it, except for this occasional Christmas card and coffee they recieve in the mail. Then they feel a little ashamed, but hey, they're the ones still sending, probably because their mother still attends. And what college kid says no to five dollars worth Tim Hortons?
Merrin doesn't remember the last time she's seen these kids, and she knows it's with reason, but she's trucks along with a mind of steal and a heart of gold. Her own son has nearly disappeared off the face of the earth to the jaws of philosophy and science. He's smart enough to come around, she's sure, maybe like his father he keeps it deep. The girls are still loving, right? They are who I'll keep close to me.
Mary adores her children with all her might and soul, why some of these kids whome she neatly addresses used to be their best friends. Though her twins are throwing themselves off the deep end with relationships that devour their every emotion...she can't help but seeing their every perfection. Like she would always tell the choir director, "they have the voices of angels!"
So these woman get together in their high wasted slacks and stylish (for their age) leather jackets and write in cursive and lick the stamps. The coupons are nothing on their budget, and the kind-hearted gossip is a treat, and maybe someday through their festive efforts a disgruntled youth will be reached.
