Had a little neighbor girlfriend when I was little. She was super sweet.

In second grade, on Christmas night, she had a brain aneurysm that paralyzed the right half of her body. She was in the hospital for months. After that, she was allowed home for a day or 2 at a time, but had to go back to rehab centers. I’d get to visit with her for a few minutes, but then she’d get worn out.

The finances got too tough and they ended up having to move out of the house.

I’ve always wondered what happened to her.
