'Senior Year Yearbook' by Ravyn LaRue

I got my yearbook today.

While perusing the pages I found myself smiling at everyone enjoying themselves.

Even though there were repeats and some of my submissions never got through-

I'm a sentimental person and my heart leapt for joy at every smiling or mugging face.

And then I got to the senior pages.

I laughed out loud at "IT'S NOT FOOD, IT'S CANDY" and some other silly things.

And then I found it-

The SPCPA Letter that got to me.

It said the most beautiful thing.

It belonged to my unbiological sister-

She thanked the school for giving her friends and me.

She mentioned me.

And now I find myself crying in Starbucks-

An unintentionally oft repeated habit of mine...

But I don't give a damn about the business men or baristas- this is life.

And I love her dearly!

She's the sweetest sisterly girl I've ever ever met, and although I'm a sap, I agree with her entirely-

It shouldn't be a sad thing to continue on, and it isn't.

These pushover tears are tears of joy.

And although my yearbook quote was not of me, and ranting on art, instead of friendships-

I know she knows.

She is the greatest unbiological sister a Sassafras could ever have-

And I love her truly!
