Letters to Benji: Grandma II

Published by

Hi Benji,

It’s grandma. Grandpa Henry remembered you today. He said he misses you and he loves you. Listen CVS can’t send the EpiPen for another 3 to 4 days so don’t eat anything. I talked to Counselor Kyle and I told him to drive you up to the Olive Garden once a day and let you stock up on whatever you like.

OK, oh he also told me about that unfortunate shower incident. Listen the other boys just overreacted, OK? Everybody peaks, right? Everybody’s curious, especially at your age. So it’s nothing to be ashamed about but you can’t not shower. You gotta shower!!! You can’t not shower, OK Benji?

Gladys passed away. We’re having her cremated on Friday. Nothing for you to worry about sweetheart. She was very much fond of you and knows that you loved her. Your mother wishes she could write but, you know, she’s in Vegas with that Robert. You know she’s a free spirit, so what are you gonna do, right? Oh, and I’m also sending you some extra clean underwear. Continue to take the bed wetting medicine, ok? I love you. Talk to you soon. OK, gotta go. Bye.
