I remembered a long time ago, when we’d talk as we did every time I’d go over there, she told me how excited she was to go to this convention. It was 2 or so hours away and I forgot what it was for, but I can still see the excitement in his mom’s eyes when she told me about it. And that was where she was tonight.
