Oh child, I can still see you and Cate in the back seat of the Subaru dancing your Egyptian dance. I tried to imitate you, and we laughed till tears streamed down our faces. All those late nights and passed notes, middles school crushes, secrets, the pizzas, the plans for you and Cate to go to NYU.
Wasn't it just two summers ago the cop caught you and Cate writing dirty words in sidewalk chalk in front of the high school. You both were so scared you were crying, and I made you go back with a bucket of soapy water to wash it off. Oh Sarah, love--not yet seventeen.
