I was at a beach house with a friend, staying with a woman and her daughter whom I looked on as being virtually like a second mother and a sister. My family had lived in the same apartment building as them for many years before we moved out into the country. Both helped to raise me and discipline me as I was growing up.
At the time of this story, I was now going on 13 and had not seen my ‘aunt and cousin’ for a couple of years, so it was great to be around them again. The four of us were together for a month, since my mom and dad were both working and couldn’t join us.
