November Thermopyle
It's 5 o'clock in the morning, we'd neglected to go to sleep all night. Staying up, talking, going outside to sit in the grass. We start drifting off... Cynthia (one of my surrogate moms) came in. Don't forget, she says to Lacey, we're going to your grandparents at 9. Whoops. We spent the day exhausted. Stealing cat naps. But so happy and young.
What I would give to have that bright star back. The most beautiful girl (inside and out) I had ever known.
