Dearly Beloved

By John Northcutt Young

Donnie Lawrence, owner of Eternal Tranquil Chapel, is an over-the-top clich . His mother moved into his lower Alabama waterfront home and keeps asking, "When are you getting married?" adding "I want grandchildren before I die," and "The patter of little feet will be like beating to my heart. "Coming out doesn't help. Neither does blurting out a name before the groom-to-be knows. Confessing to his receptionist/secretary does ease Donnie's conscience. Still, she winds up being his mother's Plan B. No wonder Donnie is having a midlife crisis enabled by the ghost of his dead father. Life changes following the death of a child. Kumbaya Night, featuring a drag queen gospel trio at Dearly Beloved, furthers the transformation.
