Chapter Two
Memorable Family Event
August 3, 2012
September 28, 1974. Going to school that morning was torture. I begged Grandma to let me stay home, but she refused. As we pulled up to St. Matthews’s preschool, she called me her “Kelly-Girl,” and promised that mom would be home when I got back. Even at the young age of four, I vividly remember that being the longest day of my entire life. At the end of the day, and after what seemed like an eternity, Grandma picked me up in her little blue Volkswagen bug driving like Miss Daisy all the way home. I ran up the drive (tripping only once), flung open the front door, and there she was, the most beautiful thing I had ever seen: my new baby sister. I remember holding her for the very first time and what it felt like to love someone other than myself. To this day, my sister, Casey, is just as beautiful, but when I “hold” her now, I am not just holding my little sister; I am also holding my best friend.
