Strawberry Letter for Thursday, April 10th, 2025: He Puts It Down, But He's Broke

"Dear Steve and Shirley, my man and I were friends for years and he’s always been down on his luck. I called him Bad Luck Barry because he couldn’t ever catch a break. Over the years, we grew fond of each other and we slowly became more than friends. One day he admitted that he’s always loved me and that’s why he has taken such good care of me for 25 years. I could not remember one time he took care of me but then I had flashbacks of the small but sweet things he’s done for me. Things like coming over in the middle of the night when my dishwasher was leaking and painting my bedroom and helping me rake leaves one Sunday afternoon. I then remembered how I had to pick him up and take him back to his brother’s house after he helped me. Despite all of that, I fell for him after we made love for the first time. He went from Bad Luck Barry to Boss Daddy because he put it down! That’s his nickname now and my friends laugh at me because my man is not the boss of anything..."
