the families (Reynolds and Sheppards)

Anyways here it comes! “Oh my gosh son, where did you meet her! We haven’t seen her in ages! But it seems we saw her like yesterday because time sure flies when you miss the people you care about!!” “Ok, it’s such a coincidence because she’s working at the same place that I go to for studying – Chapters!” “Well, what happened?” “Nothing really, but we met there!” “Well, did you introduce yourself or say something to her, this is what I want to know.” “Ya, we said hi and so far we have talked about my dislocated shoulder, school when I walked up to her one day and music and ‘life’ when I invited her to sit down one day.” “Wow, that’s awesome. And what has her response been, do you think she likes you? “Well ya, I think so, or else she wouldn’t talk and say much to me!” As his mom sips her tea, she places it on the countertop gripping really tightly and placing it very firmly but gently. She turns her face to her son, taking everything in that he’s said to her and finally responds, “Go for it john, she’s more beautiful than ever. I always liked her. It was many years ago and you were young but now you’re older and ready for each other. She seems like a really nice girl to pursue!” “Exactly,” he said in response, “I love being with her.” “You do? That’s great. That’s a good sign!” And that was the end of the conversation that he had with his mother. He always felt like she was the one parent he would share these things with! Everybody has one that he or she prefers to discuss touchy and delicate information with and this time he thought it would be her! She’s open, communicative, caring and thoughtful, especially in this situation you can never have too much of those things. But he liked to take things slowly and so he was determined to think this through and be careful. He does have a past and Sheryl seemed a little guarded and protective of herself. It’s not at all that she seemed uninterested but something about her was held back. She is dazzling and very attractive, almost mesmerizing, and so he just wanted to make sure she was on board as much he was, she was comfortable and he still wanted to know where she was going in her life at this time. However, he was drawn to her this time in a super attractive way, in what she does in her life, in her beauty and her sweet way of talking, so if she wanted to be with him he was sure he could make that happen then and there! But time would tell because she seems that very overconfident type, they know what they want, but that may mean she might not want it with him! So he thought he would take his mom’s advice lightly, cautiously, because Sheryl was the girl of his dreams and he wanted everything to work out perfectly between himself and her. The Sheppard’s The Sheppard’s are sure a beauty to behold. They had Five kids, a father, a doctor but not like their grandfather who was a medical doctor, and a hardworking, dedicated mother who surely wanted the best for her children. She came from Jamaica, fleeing from war between blacks and whites, before she came to Canada, at 18 years of age. Along with two other sisters, who were already settled and living there, she got herself a job in a bank! As they sat down one day, cups of tea in hand gently placing them on the table at the same time, at the same pace, because her husband always gets this prepared for both of them, they sat down to talk! First her mug, as she places it gently on the kitchen table, her husband follows suit right behind her. It’s really not like them to put off their eldest daughter from pursuing her dreams, but this was a serious time for Sheryl. She would be completing an education degree, John was trying to get into medicine and it was not working out for him at this time. He had a broken relationship and same with Sheryl. So her parents felt that he should go away for a while and give her some space. The conversation he had with the father after meeting Sheryl just A FEW TIMES went like this!...
