Chicken Special

This still blows my mind...... 13 years ago my only sibling lost his life to AIDS. I was operating a restaurant at the time and not more than 1 week after his death, one of my customers said "I'm sorry about your brother, but you know he chose the lifestyle so he knew the consequences." All I could do was laugh at her stupidity then add a little "extra flavor" to her chicken salad.

Two years after my brother's death, my father reunited with his two daughters from his first marriage. For the first time in my thirties, they in their forties we made each others acquaintance. It was a nice beginning to what we now term a close friendship. Upon learning of our reunion, one of the ladies from my church stated " I know you lost your brother, but now you have two sisters." Guess she was thinking this was the two for one special!
