We went to Citadel Square together, around seventh grade. You were tall, blonde, blue eyed, and athletic. Seems you got the basketball in the hoop every time.
We'd spend the night at your grandmother's house in downtown Charleston, exploring all the old rooms.
I never met your horse but to me, you were free and lovely as one.

Had some good times through high school, and on James Island growing up around Mel. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family....

In high school, we tried to boil some live crabs but felt sorry for them so carried them back in a bucket to the sea.
You were that kind of person. I miss you.

Its an almost defeating challenge to keep up with someone who lives and loves life as much as Miss Oakman did.
