Dear Southern Accent,
You show up at the most unexpected moments:  when I'm mad, excited, talking on the phone, and when I'm talking to another Southerner.  While there are times that I wish you were a constant in my vocals, I am happy when you jump in there and surprise me with your presence!  Thank you for being one of my dearest companions, even after all these years of not living in the South.  I love that you emphasize my moods and help me get points across.  I LOVE YOU!

Love,
Holly
