You caught an opportunity that I missed.
Sissy got struck by lightning..
Wait what. Fr?
This is sadly for real.
We had a ~40 acre horse ranch at the time, I was only 7 years old..
Parents arrange a party under a tarp and a few pine trees with many of their friends.
I'm only 7 at the time, parents waking me up in the rain, basically saying get out of the rain..
Later that evening, I learned we lost Sissy...
I'm so sorry
If I could send Sandy an apple, I would.
Thank you for understanding.
That's so tragic, especially for a young child. I am so sorry.
