Kathleen

Kathleen is from New Zealand.
She is a sheep rancher
A  crew person on a sail boat
and Cissie's life partner.
She can't stay in the United States
She cant get a visa.
So she and Cissie snatch what little time they can
traveling back and forth.
They hired a lawyer who told them
"If you could just get married there would be no problem"
But Kathleen was the one
at the ball game
who told us all
"Stand up!"
When the National Anthem came on.

Let me add a postscript here.....we ALWAYS stand for the National Anthem. We were tailgating outside the stadium and Kathleen was the first to hear it. (even though it's not the point of the story, I dont' want to be offensive)

That doesn't say much for the Americans, does it, that they have to be told to stand up when the National Anthem is being played.    Very sad      Dawn

    I hope their difficulties work themselves out. That is what I really call a long distance relationship.

It's amazing how many people don't pay any attention to the National Anthem anymore.  Really sad.....Linda in WA
