I’m sure I threw y’all off with a different salutation, but that’s because I’m superexcited for my Cali homegirl Becky. As you may be aware of, tonight is her big night—she’s going to her prom this evening, all thanks to my cousin Calvin. Technically, it’s not her prom, but seeing as how she has taken some serious initiative and gone back to school to get her high school diploma, Cousin Calvin has taken it upon himself to treat Becky to a wonderful evening. I spoke to Cousin Calvin earlier today, and he was just leaving the carwash and was on his way to the cleaners to get his suit. And look, y’all—Calvin is just as excited as Becky; so excited is my cousin that he was ridiculously overjoyed when he gave me a rundown of his itinerary for the evening.
First, Cousin Calvin is gonna pick up Becky at our Auntie Glo’s house; I failed to mention that Auntie Glo is hosting a prom party in Becky’s honor, and she’s also volunteered to fix Becky’s hair and makeup. After plenty of picture taking, Cousin Calvin is gonna take Becky to the Cheesecake Factory in Marina Del Rey, then he’s gonna take her dancing. Cousin Calvin emphatically stated that he wants her to have the greatest night of her life.
Becky’s all excited, too—and y’all can’t blame her! After all, she’s been doing so well since she’s come to know my family. And don’t forget: Becky has survived so much at such a young age. Granted, she’s seven years older than I am, but yet and still, she deserves to be treated like the princess that she is. To think, she almost lost sight of her true self on account of her hardships, trials, and challenges, but all because someone invested in her, y’all should see the much-deserved smile that Becky has been sporting as of late!
I would give anything to be back in L.A., if for nothing but to help Aunt Glo put together the prom party for Becky—DAMMIT, I SO TOTALLY WANNA BE THERE!!!
I’m sorry for my emotional outburst—it’s just that I am just so excited for Becky. And how apropos is it that she’s going to experience her prom exactly one year after I experienced mine!
Well, y’all, that’s gonna be it for today. I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow, but until then, say a prayer for your girl… not me this time, but for my girl Becky!
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
