So yesterday, I got home and was on the phone with my cousin Rick talking about a bbq we are doing at his sisters house Friday when I noticed a hand written letter sitting on my kitchen table. Now, we all know and love email, so it’s very rare that I receive a hand written letter. I tell Rick I go because dinners ready but really I just wanna read the letter. I ask Jerry where it came from because so far all I have read of it is the first line and I’m thinking oh god its an x boyfriend or something proclaiming their love for me. BOY was I wrong.
The letter which was just PLACED in my mailbox without an envelope was from my dad’s cousin through marriage. After reading it I immediately call my uncle who deals with this side of the family that now I believe is crazier than my moms side. He says he’s going to get to the bottom of this. This is beyond creepy. No one in the family has ever just done this before. We didn’t even grow up talking to this family really. I mean I remember seeing them at my grandma’s annual summer party for her birthday, but never did we see them other than that 1 day a year. And to be honest…their family was completely opposite from my brothers and I. We would never have associated with them. We ran in a faster circle in my family lol
So, what I gather from my uncle is this: Dale (my dads cousin) is in foreclosure on his house, and has randomly been showing up at peoples homes recently. Now don’t get me wrong. I love it when my friends show up and stop in and say hi. But… I know them and love them. This guy, I don’t really know from Adam. And furthermore, why is he “thinking about me all the time”. I hadn’t seen this person in 7 years when my grandmother passed away. My uncle called his aunt to find out what’s going on and she claims to never have given him my address which leads me to think that he drive around the area I live in and has seen me out in front of my house talking to neighbors or sittin in front having a beer or something random ( I love sitting out in front. I try to white trash things up a bit :D )
So I start to get a bit more weirded out and wonder why this guy is contacting me. To be honest, I really think he was drunk while he was writing this. Although, my great aunt just claims he’s going crazy. So I decided to type out the letter and add it in here with a few changes because I do NOT give out my actual last name or town I live in. I don’t want stalkers, I don’t have time for them, and unless I really really really love you, you don’t need to know that much about me. I like my life private and intend to keep it that way…well that was till I got this creepy letter from a family member that now is on creepy pre-stalker watch.
The sloppy writing is this:
Hi Amy over here he wrote my address but no!
I know its been a little while since we talked (1 year), but I think about you all the time. – KEEP IN MIND I DON’T KNOW WHO’S WRITING THIS YET.
I hope that everything is going well for you.
I have been out of work and looking for a job (I/T Computers) for over a year now and I would like to take my resume and enter it into your “database” – **original text was removed for privacy reasons**
My brother Don lives with his family in **town removed for privacy** and I have always wanted to stop by and say hi when I am visiting him (I got your address from ANNA MAE).
I hope everything is going well for your son (he must be big) and your mom.
I have been working at 7-Eleven in *town removed for privacy* and also wanted to stop by and visit her too. – meaning my mom

My son Scott (Marine) is playing lead singer / lead guitar for a band called “off the rocker. They play fri/sat nites (note the bad spelling…no wonder this guy is working at 7 eleven) at the Empress Casino in **nother town removed but its cus I don’t wanna promote the band..they stink!**
Your **more bad grammar** boy friend is also a musician and they should get together to compare notes on their music careers
We still live in **shit hole town** but are planning to move this summer to **another shit hole town** to be closer to my eldest son Kevin ****this is actually not the truth. They are in foreclosure****
My youngest son mark (23x) still lives with Chris & I but is talking about getting his own apartment with a couple friends soon
Please give chris or I a call. I would love to visit with you when it would be convenient.
Have a GREAT summer,
Dale and Chris

So, what do you think? Should I be wigged out and weirded out over some random person (true not totally random because he is related BY MARRIAGE to someone my dad was related to that he never ever talked to in the first place) or do you think he was just trying to be nice and not freaky.
