We were all crowded around the rectangular wooden table, in our musty smelling cabin, Grand Marais, Michigan. My mom- smiling her famous, beautiful white smile; my sister, Bonita-on her tiptoes attempting to be the same height as the rest of us; Taylor- my sister’s blue eyed best friend; my best friend- Ally giggling like usual, and finally me- wearing the same shirt I’d been wearing for the past few days gathered together like a group of “penguins” waiting to be fed their afternoon meal.
