Selah's picture

Lee danced to her own beat, intead of walking with everyone else. She wasn't like anyone else she could think of.She only had one best friend and he was her cat, her talking cat atually, but he never talked to anyone but her. She loved to sing and dance and jump high in the air. She could jump higher than anyone she knew including her Dad, who was in the Airforce. She remembered when Dad had his own plane, they would go up high in the air, she was a baby then that was before Mother's illness.
Her Mother became weak with something unknown to Lee, Cancer. She went to many Doctors and had many procedures performed. Mother soon became better but in the process Dad had to sell his little airplane to pay for her recovery. After she became a strong woman Lee barely knew her. She cooked and cleaned and made everything perfect. Lee and her mother barely ever talked, Mother felt as if the Cancer was coming back and if she got to close to any of her family members that they would grieve to much over her death. She didn't want little Lee to suffer. Lee and her mother lived in a small Shack by the sea, where the sand was white and smooth and streched out as far as the eye could see. That was Lee's place in the tide pools with the star fish and her talking cat, Moose. There was One spot, Moose's faveorite, were the ricks towered so high you couldn't see over them
