she tells me,
as we lie in bed,
holding my hand,
and snuggling up to my shoulder.
you'll love them.
i've told them all about you.
i sigh.
i don't know. maybe.
how many?
well, there's my mother and father,
my three kids,
my aunt Betty, my uncle Sal,
my cousins,
Geno, Delores and Reggie.
plus their families.
my grandmother might be
there too,
if she wakes up from a coma.
it's just a small gathering, they're
all dying to meet you.
it's just going to be a casual
thing, you know.
a cookout in the backyard.
it'll be fun, you play badminton
don't you?
we're really really competitive
with badminton.
