In 1989, as I approached my seventeenth birthday, my closest friend Meranda called my mother. More than just a cat, Electra taught me about letting go. Then Life reminded me about my first cat, Electra. I’ve searched for him and prayed to God to bring him back. My cat, Felix, disappeared a few days ago.

I had them all summer, but that morning was the worst. I was twelve, in bed after I just got back from doing my paper route, trying to go back to sleep.

My first period made its debut in July, 1984.
