A good friend of mine passed away thursday. I have been reminicing about the times I spent with her..What an amazing women..
The year was 1987. I was seventeen and just started my first job at Sister Chicken and Biscuits. Dottie was the cashier. She was 48 and divorced and originally from Texas so she spoke with a smooth southern twang. She was elegantly tall at 5'11" 120 pounds and bleach blonde hair.She walked hunched over like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Dottie's style was from the 70's including the flip style hair. She chain smoked PALLMALL filterless...so her finger tips where nicotin stained and her face wrinkled and yellowed.
Some how we became friends. I don't know what it was ..but we both had a mutual respect for each other. I would visit her often at her apartment that was over the funeral home..(Seriously..:)
1987 was also the year I THOUGHT I had found my true love. HAHA well after a 5 month relationship ..he broke up with me...sigh..being the young stupid girl I was ..I was going to call him to try and get back together. Dottie caught wind of this and probably gave me the best advice in my life to this date. She said:
"NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF YOUR PUSSY "....
....I thought that was awesome..and never left my mind...I let the loser boyfriend go..a few years later ..I heard he weighed like 250 and unemployed....and did a stint in prison for drugs..haha..
So my Dear friend ..I hope you rest in peace and I will NEVER forget all your advice
Loves
