I grew up with Sherry and have known her probaby 53 years or more. We have stayed in contact because the things expressed in the poem actually happened. She really was my 1st girl friend through the 1st 12 years of my life, we then grew apart for awhile, but with the help of my mom I found her again and we continued to correspond. Now we live only a few hours from each other and get to see each other once or twice a year and I receive email from her almost daily. She is the hub for our prayer wheel and is a really nice person. I still keep a picture of her in my scrapbook from her younger days. She will always be a beautiful person in the eyes of those who love her.
Sherry, this one is for you.
