![]() ![]() “But what about the ride back? I’m not sure I can make such a long trip on my own.” Lily stated. Since I was exhausted, I offered to take a Lyft back home while Lily and Jessica could head up together. This left only two seats in the SUV – one for the driver and one for the passenger. The TV was squeezed between the driver and passenger side seats in the front. We began our creative packing process and finally ended having to fold the second and third row seats down in order to fit all the boxes. Jessica’s belongings consisted of a 55″ TV, minifridge, microwave, and about eight boxes. It was difficult not to stare, and it took all my effort to avert my gaze toward the boxes awaiting us on the driveway. She was the spitting image of my wife when we first met, so young and innocent, with her infectious smile. It was a very hot day – Jessica was wearing her hair tied up, and a white summer dress that was backless and had spaghetti thin straps extending over her shoulders, the length of the dress stopping about mid-thigh, showing off her beautiful legs. Lily gasped at the amount of stuff that Jessica was bringing, while I did my best not to gawk at Jessica. When we arrived at Jessica’s parents house, we saw Lily’s parents and Jessica waiting for us outside. I stayed up late last night for work, and Lily agreed to drive so I could catch some shuteye. We had everything planned out, we would pick her up at 7am, load up the car by 8am, and make the five hour drive upstate to arrive in the afternoon to unpack. Since we had a larger SUV, my wife volunteered us to drive her up and help settle her in. And so, today was the day – Jessica was finally moving to college. ![]() Three months ago, my wife’s younger sister Jessica graduated high school with honors as we proudly cheered from the audience. The three of us had a very close relationship Lily was the funny one, Jessica was the smart one, and of course I was the lucky one. My wife and I would often take Jessica to run errands, tutor her in classes, give her rides to her friend’s house, etc. Fortunately, both Jessica and Lily were humble and really down to earth. Jessica looked just like Lily did when she was younger, and judging by stories from my wife, Jessica would get similar treatment in public too. ![]()
