She explained more about her time with Keith's parents. She had known Keith’s mom in high school. She happened to have run into her one day and she ...nvited her to a party they were having.My mom smiled as she said, ”Both his parents knew how to make their guests feel welcomed.”She also told me what a fine boy Keith was back then and had grown into a sweet man just like his father I told her she didn’t have to tell me that. We heard a commotion coming from the kitchen and ran out to see what was. Jen was great about letting me know the results of Riley's soccer games and her achievements at school. She would also send me pictures -- including Riley's school pic, pictures from soccer, and pictures of outings with her friends. While I loved seeing these glimpses into her life, they also served as a constant reminder of just how different our lives were.One mid-afternoon in early October, I got another jarring reminder. I was driving back from lunch when Jennifer called me.We made pleasant. Valerie and I cuddled for awhile but I think she was used up after her first encounter with same sex love making. Anyway she went to sleep with a smile on her face. I stayed awake. I wanted another piece of the Lavinia pie. At about half past midnight I slowly crawled out of my bed and crept down the hall to the guest room. I was sleeping commando. No need to let clothes interfere. I didn't knock, but simply opened the door. A nightlight was glowing and I could see Lavinia under a light. ” I looked around and noticed that the students were almost all gone now and that it was now mostly just animal control nearby. I briefly wondered when they had gotten here. As they loaded the last dog onto the truck I said, “Thanks for saving my Sister and me from those dogs.”The woman who loaded the dog onto the truck turned to me and with a smile said, “It’s no problem. It’s not like it’s the first time someone from that school had something spilled on them that attracted half the male dogs.
