Just Ten Days Ago
On
November 4, this year 2008, the whole world watched as Barack Obama made
history and they celebrated. November was a time for me to celebrate for years
now. I remember as if it were yesterday, my friend having her 25th Birthday.
We celebrated that night with a beach party, the first for me. I had some unforgettable
meat balls and that night was unmatched. Ever year on her birthday, I remember
that night, then her smile and her dimple and the rest of her family. There is
much distance between us now and she has a whole new life with her beloved
husband and new friends but I will always celebrate this date, with 14 lines,
remembering
