Sakura's Journal

When I was a kid, my brother and I had this baby-sitter named Steve, well we had two with that name, one right after the other. One of them, the younger one, had a girl-friend who came over a couple of times. Well at that point I had this over sized sketchbook. You know the kind, flimsy grey-ish paper where the marker always bleeds through to the next page. Anyways, she was a pretty good artist and drew me two pictures. One was my name in fancy script with lady bugs and grass. I came across this book again a few years back. Flipping through it, I came across the second picture and it made me burst into tears. It was a drawing of the twin towers and underneath, in blue marker, she had written "My favorite place on earth".
