A Note From the Future [02.02.25]
The context leading up to the moment this letter is going to talk about:
First words out of Egg's mouth once we were through the door: "What about the front [weeding the front]?"
"I didn't do any of it. I'm not doing it anymore."
"You can't do that, that's part of the deal."
"What deal?"
"The deal!"
"...what deal?"
"For you to get the big rock."
"Oh I don't care about that. My health is more important."
What the letter is responding directly to:
[s]he yelled with all intentions of us hearing, "Well [Karu], you blew your chance! [Niece] is getting the ring! [pause] Thanks for nothing!"
I heard your 'thanks for nothing'. Here's the list of "nothing" I've done for you:
Getting your groceries every week for the past 2+ years
Getting your scripts for the past 2+ years
Driving you to and from the bank and from doctors for 2+ years
Mowing the lawn for 2+ years despite my health issues
Writing out and signing checks for you when your hands shook too much to be legible
Making photocopies for you
Shovelling the snow for you
Putting out your garbage for you
Purchasing you things off of Amazon when you needed them
Purchasing a cell phone when you requested one
Helping you move from Pompton Lakes to Port Jervis and everything associated with it (talking with the realtor, signing things, etc)
You've blown any chance of me doing anything further for you. You will need to figure out getting your own groceries and medications from now on, which you would need to do anyway since we will be moving out of here sooner than you think and you would need to do so anyway. After how you’ve treated both myself and Serena, you should be grateful I’ve continued to do as much as I did—but no more. There comes a time in every adult’s life where they live out on their own and have to figure things out for themself, and there are no exceptions to this rule.
I never did give this to her. The next day Serena and I went to look at houses and my intention was to give it to her on the way out the door. But I never did. I think a printed copy is still floating around my car somewhere... Now it doesn't really matter, but I wanted it here for "safe keeping"/future reference.
