I remember this night better than I remember last night. My sister was only ten‚ and I only seven. At the time my mother worked third shift‚ she was driving us to our baby-sitters house. It was dark out‚ I don’t remember exactly what time it was but it was late. I had on my favorite pink nightgown‚ it was wet from running to the car in the downpour.
