I have an uncanny ability to read people; I had a good feeling about this guy. He called two days before Memorial Day and ordered a silk cemetery piece for his mother and one for his father. Not too unusual‚ since my sister and I owned a small flower shop in our hometown and it is common for out-of-state customers to have us deliver their orders to graves they are not able to visit. The fact one piece was to be delivered 25 miles away‚ wasn’t a request we had every day. His mother was buried in

Khadijah went through something that kids normally don’t go through it never get to experience in first hand view. She went through poverty and homelessness.

Fishing out of the keys‚ it was almost impossible to come back empty handed. Most of the time we would come back with a bloody boat and a cooler full of fish that my dad would need to filet right there on the dock. “Jeremy get the front lines.” “ Jeremy go wash these off.” “Jeremy this‚ Jeremy that.” I love to go fishing but I don’t really like the constant requests my dad makes nor how long it takes to catch a damn fish. Fishing is something that my dad and I can do together and even after I

“TIMEOUT!” It all came down to this. The seniors had been honored‚ tears were shed‚ and the fans were ecstatic! Our district rival‚ St. John of Plaquemine had the ball with just over two seconds on the clock. Our small forward‚ Dustin Blanchard‚ who also happened to be one of the two seniors honored that night‚ just drained what everyone had thought to be the game-winning lay-up.

Winter break of 2015 was no exception‚ I hadn’t done anything all break and my parents wanted to go out and do something before everybody was forced to go back to work and school. We had planned to go out sledding with some family friends up on Larch Mountain

Have you ever had a feeling that you were meant to do something ? That you couldn’t have been made for any other purpose in this world... For me ‚ that was cheerleading.

I felt a little out of place‚ or maybe more than a little but my cousins went there so I had someone at least. My mom had talked to my aunt and she said that Courtney was starting cheer and I could be on the older girls team as well
