Heading Back Home
We have made an important decision, to leave Ohio in six weeks;
And move back to our beloved Florida, for true happiness we seek!
We came here with great expectations, based on promises from my son;
Of love and new-found fortune, his company Linda would help run!
.
For a while things went just perfectly, family, love, and nice paychecks;
But after Christmas, we felt some tremors, my son was heading for a wreck!
The casino was his problem, he’d lost most the company funds;
Linda’s wages started trickling, home repairs not getting done!
.
But in March he got real lucky, a major storm came howling by;
Business again was booming, Linda got a nice piece of the pie!
But then there started subterfuge, hiding jobs from Linda’s books;
Linda knew what he was doing, cheating her, this wretched crook!
.
Then one day, out of a clear sky, he said “I no longer need your work”;
“I’m sorry but your job is done’, which drove Linda and me berserk!
We visited an attorney, to try and sue him for what was due;
But the cost would be prohibitive, he said, “your son totally screwed you”!
.
Since then we have disowned him, never again to see his face;
This monster that we called our son, and tightly both embraced!
So we are moving back to Florida, to heal our grieving hearts;
We never should have come to Ohio, we cannot wait to now depart!
.
.
We’re going back home
Broken promise, broken hearts
Soon again happy

Our Dear Tony,
We really appreciate your heartfelt concern on this. We moved up here, based on his sacred pledge, that he was a changed man, and he needed Linda to help run his business. He promised her $50,000-75,000 a year, writing her a contract with a 5% interest in the company. I guess my poem is pretty self-explanatory for what happened between December and May. To add insult to injury, we are obligated to stay in this townhouse till September, which without Linda's income, we've had to dip into our savings to pay for.
He broke our hearts and spirits, and we never want to see him again.
Thank you so much for your most kind words.
All our love,
Linda and Larry xxx
