Unforgettable
There are some people you can never forget
Ever had an individual who’d left a permanent mark on you and your life as a whole?
I was having a normal uneventful day when an article suddenly popped up in one of the social media’s news feeds:
REMEMBERING KARI LYNN — PRESS-REPUBLICAN — JUNE 22, 2022
Suddenly, memories flooded my mind.
Memories of her. Of the day after and the days beyond.
June 23, 1987
There are a few specific days I still remember from my childhood. This particular one was a day when my idyllic view of the world around me changed.
It was late morning and I was over at the Briggs’ residence for Vacation Bible School. We’d just finished with a craft project and were cleaning up in the living room when there was a knock at the front door.
I immediately recognized the blonde middle-aged woman as my Aunt Bea. I knew she was there to pick up my two cousins, Steve and Julie; but, there was something about her facial expression that caught and held my attention as she conversed with Mrs. Briggs in the kitchen.
There were tears in her eyes.
