Every Day Use Sequel

It is a nice sunny day in mid-June. The garden's flowers have begun to bloom and all the plants are rapidly increasing in growth. There is a nice summer breeze that is very strong and mixes in nicely with the hot blazes from the burning sun. It has been 10 years since Dee's last visit and Maggie is now fully grown up. She has a job and manager at McDonalds. She takes care of things at the house and nothing has ever gone wrong. The only bad thing that happened was the sad, sad death of mama five years ago. Mama was sleeping in her bed one night and never woke up. Maggie was devasted. She didn't know if she could keep living and even thought about suicide. After weeks of total madness going on throughout Maggie's head, she finally pulled herself together and told herself to keep going on in life. Mama is buried out in the yard next to the garden and every time Maggie is down, she would work in the garden and thing about mama and how mama would want her to keep going no matter how tough life was. That's what she was doing today when her phone rang. It was Dee. She said that she was going to come visit again with her family. Maggie was delighted. She never really had anyone to talk to since mama died and could really use the company. Dee would be coming tommorow in the morning which meant Maggie had to clean up the house and get ready for her visitors. Dee arrived the next morning at exactly eight o'clock. Maggie was happy to see her sister. It had been 10 years since her last visit and it was a very special moment for both of them to finally see each other again. Dee introduced her family to Maggie. She had married Asalamalakim and had two children, one age seven, and one age four, both of them boys. Dee introduced them and told Maggie their names, the older one was Joseph and the younger one was Jacob. They were two very energetic boys always running around and playing said Dee. After a minute of hugs and tears, the five of them went into the house. Maggie had gotten them all drinks as they sat down in the living room talking about what each sister had missed after the long 10 years. Dee said Asalamakim was the head of this corporation that made high tech computers that was the most succesful company in the city from where they lived. Dee was a stay home mom that took care of her two boys and made sure that the house was always is good shape. After explaining her life, Dee asked how Maggie's life was going. Maggie told them that she the manager of a McDonalds about three miles away and that her life was going really good. After Maggie finished explaining that, Dee interrupted asking where mama was. Maggie said in a sad and dejected voice that she had died about five years ago in her bed. Maggie was expecting Dee to start crying but instead she started acting mad and angry at Maggie. Dee said, "Why didn't tell me this?! She has been dead five years and you didn't tell me! Why! I thought the first thing you would do was tell me! Instead you didn't tell me anything! In fact you never called once in the past 10 years! " Maggie just stated, "I'm sorry."
