Dear Johnette Williams...

Dear Johnette Williams...


I'm drawn to your daily talk show on EWTN Radio

I'm retired now and I need your prayers right now dontcha know

I suffer from dementia and it's driving my wife insane

I misunderstand the words she says to me much too often and thus she calls me a liar

Feeling lonely sometimes as a lowly flower

.....as such lacking sunshine and a pleasant rain.

 

She left the Catholic faith many years ago and it breaks my heart in two

She got her tubes tied

(arrogantly justified)

In the name of a "woman's right to choose."

She pulled my autistic son out of the local catholic school

Telling me that "Lehman is NOT an option"

And up to this very day it has given me the blues!

 

Hence I feel like a loner sometimes in the Catholic faith

Out of my hurt feelings I started to drink but later joined A.A.

I sobered and have remained sober to this very day.

 

But my forgetfulness and haphazard thinking made her increasingly cynical

Been married for over forty years, then having my prostate removed due to cancer

And am no longer able to have intimate romantic and blissful sexual relations with her.

 

My gut feelings tell me that she's out to control me

I rebuttal her with my rant-filled rhetoric which doesn't help matters any.

 

I venture to guess it goes way back to the sixth grade in 1966

When Sister John-Clare read me the riot act at the blackboard in class

Because I was an underacheiver with failing grades and the lack of a positive mental attitude

And to this day I continue to struggle and pray for a permanent fix.

 

Dear Johnette Williams please pray for me

Your smile and cheerful faith-filled voice is almost a consolation for me.

I definately DON'T want a divorice!

I just want to have a happy and successful faith filled family.

 

In the words of my late mother who in 1953 gave birth to me:

"WE'RE A FAMILY...WE STICK TOGETHER!"

Dear Johnette Williams...please pray for me!

A poor habitual and a sinful creature.
