Reply #23: Her daugher...my neice...moved there. That's why she moved there... [View All]

...my sister and brother-in-law visited her once, sometimes twice, a year.

They developed an "idealized," rose colored glasses view of Colorado Springs. All they saw were the white guys with the Peterbilt caps.

When they packed all their shit on a U-Haul truck and moved there and made it their home, they saw Colorado Springs for what it was all along.

They were the ultimate victims of the "grass is always greener" lie about life.

Anyone wanting to move to a place where everyone is white pretty much deserves whatever the hell they get when they move there.

My mother can't die twice. There won't be another payday. She's in Colorado Springs, and that's where she'll die.

For me, she died the day that U-Haul truck drove out of Redwood City six years ago.
