It was early morning July 28‚ 2008 when I received the phone call. I was at work and remember the conversation and

In the midst of a dream‚ I met a witty individual with short fingers and twinkling brown eyes of a cat‚ her lips were curled up in a smirk and her mind was clear as the sky. Clutching in her hand‚ was a grand cream paper recognizing her achievements as a graduate from the University of Texas at Austin. Her choice of major was International Relations‚ an awkward choice for a timid mouse that loved history but hated speaking in front of a crowd; yet for a strange reason was favored for the opportunity
