Mother Fields' Spirit Shines Through Ruby and Theo

Hi, Everyone!

Ruby and Theo are just as sweet as they could be.

 

I got out early in my Geometry & Trig class, only because my midterm is tomorrow. Well, when I entered my dorm room, I just lay out on my bed and looked up at the ceiling, then I got up and finished up the rest of my eulogy to Mrs. Fields.

 

Around noontime, I got up to go to the cafeteria, and as soon as I walked in, I noticed that Ruby and Theo were awaiting me, each holding three yellow roses. After I got my food, I sat over by them (as usual), and I was in for quite a surprise.

 

“Yo, Tash, we got you a little something to let you know that you have our deepest condolences,” Theo said. “We know that you can’t be home to celebrate the life of your beloved church member, but here is a card signed by me and Ruby. Oh, and here are six yellow roses—Ruby told me how much your mentor loved yellow roses.”

 

I tell y’all—I was moved to tears.

 

There are truly no words to express the gratitude that I have for Ruby and Theo. I mean, for them to go out of their way and do that for me… I am flattered. And I know that somewhere in Glory, Mrs. Fields is just grinnin’ away.

 

For the record, I know that Ruby was the mastermind behind the whole project. I just squeezed her hand. She simply squeezed back.

 

I recognize that Ruby, Theo, and Judy didn’t have to do what they did, but I really do appreciate it very much. And as an added bonus, the three of them are treating me to an afternoon in Memphis this Saturday. I know, I know—my birthday is on Sunday, but I can celebrate it early if I want to!

 

Until next time, y’all take care, and say a prayer that your girl gets a decent grade on tomorrow’s Geometry & Trig midterm.


Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
