My best is every summer when the lilacs would bloom. They ran the whole side of our house about 4 feet from the house. So my sister and I would sit on the path worn between the lilacs and the house. It was cool and smelled so wonderful! We would play dolls for hours and hours. to this day the smell of fresh lilacs just makes me smile!
My worst is when I was in 3rd grade and my dog, Skipper got hit by a car. He broke his two front legs. My mother didn't drive and he lay on the side of the street in so much pain. My neighbor saw the woman who hit him and as she was just driving away my neighbor ran after her yelling she had her license number. She finally stopped and drove us to the animal hospital. Skipper wore casts on his two front legs for months but he ended up being fine and lived to about 12 years old. The worst part: the woman who hit him was my teacher at school! It was horrible to be in her classroom and know that she was just going to drive away. She never once even asked how he was! |
