February 11, 2013: First Crush





I hope that this counts, but before I was six I told my mother that on my sixth birthday I wanted to marry a friend of the family "Toddy".  When I turned six, I was disappointed. My grandmother saw it. She brought me a white dress with vail material over the skirt part. It was covered with pink roses. I made this my wedding dress.





Finally night time came, but Toddy did not come visit as he usually did. I looked sad. My mother asked me why I wanted to marry this man that was older than my dad. "He can not talk or here," I began. "He will not fight with me."





Mom kissed me good night. I will never forget being stood up for a wedding that was only in my mind.
