Before you read this, I want you to know something. I am absolutely not a bad person. I see people of all races as people. I don't normally have weird fetishes. You see I grew up in a racially diverse, wonderfully family-oriented environment. My name is Evelyn Marguerite Jacobs and I'm a lifelong resident of Boston, Massachusetts. I grew up in a city where people of African-American, Asian, Hispanic or Native American descent made up half of the total population. A city which has been Black Police Chiefs, Latino mayors, African-American female State Representatives and openly gay Congressmen. Boston is one of the most diverse and progressive cities in the United States of America. And I am proud to call it home. That's why this confession is so difficult.
I am fifty four years old, and recently divorced. I was married to a tall, handsome man of Japanese descent for almost thirty years. The great Thomas Yamamoto. Recently he left me for a Hawaiian chick half my age. They're living together in Honolulu right now. Men are always leaving their wives for younger women. Thomas and I have two sons and a daughter together, James, Henry and Clinton. James Yamamoto is an engineering student at Boston University. Henry Yamamoto is a police officer in Haverhill. He recently married Marianne Jean, a lovely schoolteacher of Haitian descent whom he met in Plymouth. They have a son together, my beloved grandson Joseph. My youngest son Clinton is a Fitness Trainer in New York City. Yeah, our sons are doing quite well. And they're proud of their dual Japanese and Irish heritage. Their father and I wanted them to know who they are and where they came from. I'm forever proud to be a mother and now a grandmother.
Since Thomas left me, I have been increasingly frustrated and angry. Thomas left me for a younger woman. A sexy younger woman of the Hawaiian persuasion. That's enough to make any woman doubt herself. At my age, I seldom feel desirable anymore. I stand five feet eleven inches tall, kind of chubby, with blonde hair and pale blue eyes. I've got large tits that are far from sagging, wide hips and a big, round ass. I'm nobody's ideal of beauty these days. White women don't age well I'm afraid and without makeup, I sometimes look much older than I really am. And I can't stand it. My sons are all busy with their lives and no one is around to take care of Dear Old Mom. I feel lonely, angry and frustrated.
Yet recently, there's been an injection of energy and life into my otherwise dreary existence. A new family moved next door to me. Clifford Adewale, a tall, good-looking Black man of Nigerian descent in his early fifties moved next door to me with his wife Veronique, a tall, sexy Black woman of Jamaican descent. Clifford is a sergeant with the Boston Police Department. His wife Veronique Almond is a registered nurse working at Massachusetts General Hospital. They have two sons, Adam and Edward, and a daughter named Monica. Adam and Edward attend Bay State College in Boston. Monica is a student-athlete at the University of Massachusetts. The Adewale family did well for itself. In many ways, they reminded me of myself and Thomas starting out decades ago. I admired them for that.
Even in a liberal and diverse city like Boston, there are bigots. One of my neighbours, an old Italian guy named Moreno, hasn't exactly hidden his dislike of the new Black family that moved into our street. I gave Moreno a stern lecture on the evils of racism right in front of the Adewale family one morning. The old Italian bastard was stunned. I don't tolerate racists. I have dealt with many racists since I married Thomas Yamamoto. There were many White folks in Boston who weren't thrilled to see a young Irishwoman with a Japanese guy. And there were a few Asian women who weren't happy to see a successful Asian guy married to a White woman. A lot of them accused me of being a gold digger. Thomas made a small fortune selling real estate all over New England in the 1980s and 1990s. I didn't get with him for his money. Hell, I'm from old money.
The Jacobs family has been in the state of Massachusetts since the 1950s. I was born in Galway, Ireland but grew up in the city of Boston. My father Sean Jacobs was a Massachusetts State Senator. My mother Anne Jacobs was a prominent member of the women's rights movement and a supporter of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. She graduated from Wellesley College in those days and it sparked a sense of activism and social justice in her. Before her death in 2006, she was campaigning to elect the first African-American Governor of the state of Massachusetts. Yeah, my family always did alright for itself. I was a millionaire before I met Thomas Yamamoto. I loved him for his good looks, his charm and wit, his wonderful heart. I wasn't drawn to him for his money. Though I'm no longer a millionaire, I am still a classy lady. I didn't ask my ex-husband for alimony even after what he did to me. I simply didn't want anything to do with him. Or that harpy he left me for.
