I absolutely love this! You have such as lovely way with words.
I have to highlight some of my favorite lines:
Lois's Sense of Timing still holidaying by a sparkling aquamarine pool, sipping cocktails along with Lois's Rational Thoughts and Lois's Patience. The last was long gone, anyway
That was a total gem!
Maybe that was everybody's problem, maybe that was the very root of everybody's problem, not being there for somebody when somebody needed them, not knowing when somebody was mad at them, not knowing what to do or say when somebody cried. And maybe Somebody was the troublemaker. If she ever met Somebody, she'd sure give him or her a piece of her mind.
That is such an incisive observation on the human condition. I also love the bit of dark humor in giving somebody a piece of her mind.
