Kimberly Reid

And I love my child.

And I hope you do too.

And we can focus on this tonight.

We can talk about this tonight.

You all are my ambassadors.

If someone has questions at the funeral and I'm caught up in things, I'm going to point them to you and let you tell this story because you can talk about it in a sensitive way.

And she took a couple questions from the people there.

And the whole tea party ended slightly different than the tea party we hear about in the news.

the whole thing ended with everybody raising their teacups and saying hip hip hooray for Kim, hip hip hooray for Kim.

There were a couple of amens and some applause.

And then everybody went home and I swear there was a brownout from all the simultaneous phone calls that were being made, dispensing the information, right?

So then the next night, there was a viewing of my father's body at the at the funeral home.

And I had elected not to go because you know, I didn't want the focus to be on me, I was going to keep it on everybody and keep it on my father.

But my best friend Tim from high school was at the viewing.

And he calls me up.

He had only known the new me for a couple days.

I hadn't even told him.

but he knew me really well and he knew I was chickening out.

And he called me from the funeral parlor and he said, hey, I got a lot of people here that really want to see you.

I should probably tell you that the people he's talking about are the football team.
