Fictional Story: Cleaning The Attic 5/30/17

 

   The Attic Before & After

Lucy Green remembers the times when she was a little girl when Lucy would go in the attic and keep all of her schoolwork in a draw from kindergarten-12th grade. Lucy was always a straight A student in school. Lucy Green 39 is now an 8th grade teacher in middle school in Madison, WI. Lucy and her 3 children help Lucy clean out the attic in their Madison home. Lucy always tells her children that they have to work really hard in order to be successful. Lucy's husband Howard Green 39 is a fireman. It was unique how Lucy and Howard met, and it involved Lucy's oldest daughter named Patty. Patty's (then 7 now 12) cat got stuck up in a tree. Howard noticed how sad Patty looked because Patty pet cat always love climbing up on things. One day, Patty's cat climbed on top of a tree and got stuck. The cat got scared and was "Meowing" very loudly. Howard bravely climbed up the tree and got Patty's cat safely down and brought the cat to Patty.

Patty smiling said, "Thank You!"

Lucy in awe thanked Howard.

Howard responded by saying, "No problem I'm glad I could help!"

Patty grabbed Howard's hand and grabbed her mom Lucy's hand and had Howard and Lucy holding hands. The 7-year-old said the coolest thing to both Howard and Lucy when they were holding hands.

Patty said to Howard and Lucy, "You two make a great couple."

Believe it or not Lucy and Howard hit it off thanks to Lucy's daughter Patty. Lucy was a single mom of 1 child and Howard was single and never had any children at the time. It was 5 years ago when Lucy and Howard had met, and it's been 4 years since they have been married to each other. Lucy has 3 children 2 with her hubby Howard.

That very attic has a lot of sentimental value because whenever Lucy and her children set foot in the attic, they always clean out the attic together as a family. The attic brings back so many memories because Lucy's parents left her that house in Madison. Lucy's daughter Patty appears to be following in her mom's footsteps writes her schoolwork in that very same attic. Patty is definitely hinting that she may someday be a schoolteacher like her mom and even a matchmaker because Patty hooked up her mom Lucy and her stepdad Howard together. Like mother like daughter when it comes to the attic.

Were one of the happiest days of my life.

Looking at your beautiful blond hair,                        

And beautiful blue eyes and seeing you in awe,                  

Looking at me standing at 6’ 2" tall.                        

The day that you said  “Yes” to me,                        

Put a smile on my face.                        

We had so many good times together.                        

The nights we spent hours talking on the phone with each other.          

Complimenting each other with gratitude and kindness,

Probably the best times of my life were buying you gifts.

Audrey you are the kind of woman I loved to do things for.                        

I enjoyed surprising you on your birthday.                        

And now here we are together on our wedding day.          

Hanging out with you is the best thing that happened to me.        

Looking at such a beautiful woman like you standing at 5’ 3”                        

A woman who always seem to bring out the best in me.  

Audrey my love the one and only woman for me.                

The woman who I want to spend the rest of my life with.  

The only woman that I kiss.                        

The only woman who I want to have children with.            

Audrey thank you so much for making me the happiest guy.
