Cheryl

So I made a decision. It was a pretty ballsy decision. Even for me, especially given my history of letting others run things. Made mommy smile. And then she offered me a gem from daddy. He's evidently said, on a number of occasions, that I remind him of my Aunt Cheryl. I can't not be happy about that. To think that I've somehow embodied the personality and spirit that she carried with her.  The one person I wanted to be growing up was Aunt Cheryl. When she went back to California, I asked my parents if I could go with her. How different my life would have been if I had. How different hers would have been. Maybe she'd still be around. If only.


...She had too much spirit to go as early as she did
