Rest in peace, Cuz…you were loved.
I loved Elmo , and I think about Elmo every day of my life.
Elmo was awesome , Val , and you were so lucky to have that man in your life.
Thanks , Val , sure you know I have photos of Elmo. I can look at photos of Mr. Rouse by myself. I can think about all of the fun we had together. Mr. Rouse sure did like me ! I am so flattered that Elmo liked me so much. Elmo used to call me ” Valerie Jean dancing machine. “
Sure , Val , if he was here with me now …I can speculate that he would be dozing on the couch. If he woke up and he saw me he would say , “What are you up to Valerie Jean ? You want to go out to eat with me tomorrow ? ” I might reply , ” Sure , you want to go to IHOP with me ? ” The 2 of us could talk for hours.
Maybe you could write a book entitled ” Adventures of Elmo and Valerie.” You could write the book for yourself to read. That’s a pretty good idea , Val. Our journey of sobriety , or some shit like that. I could enjoy reading that book.
