I don't think it ever occurred to me until these past couple of years, that she's a whole person with a history and dreams and all of that stuff. It's strange to think of.

A bunch of older boys started to chase us, yelling that they were going to kill us. I thought they were monsters but they were probably all of 13. We tore through Robson until we got to the other side and saw your big yellow house. Knowing that you lived there, we banged on the door and your mom answered and quietly listened to us tell her that some boys wanted to murder us. She was nice enough to put us in her car and give us a ride to Memorial park where my parents were watching my brother's little league game. I don't even know if she knew who we were, but she was a mom and that was enough.<BR/>So Robson has good memories between us :)Petunia Facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862319327443285277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-20339973585521410642009-03-31T19:55:00.000-07:002009-03-31T19:55:00.000-07:00I love this post - it triggered some serious nosta...I love this post - it triggered some serious nostalgia and I just sent it to my mom to read! There is no way you will remember this but on my first overnight at Robson camp (maybe 7 years old?) I was sad and wanted to go home. The counselors brought me into the tent with you and your friends and you gave me a twinkie. Thanks! It obviously made a big impression. :)Rachel Weillhttp://www.rachelweill.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317198515686034704.post-25887309248563565352009-03-31T19:04:00.000-07:002009-03-31T19:04:00.000-07:00These same thoughts cross my mind too, however--ev...These same thoughts cross my mind too, however--even in my head they are never as eloquent as you wrote them here.
