My cousin Johnny posted a bunch of pictures of his mom (and my aunt) Mary Jane on Facebook.
One of the pictures caught my eye. When I was 11, I served as the flower girl in her wedding, which was held at a local waterfall. I remember wearing one of my sister's dresses for the event. By 11, I was fully developed and had been wearing a bra since 4th grade. I look like a 15-year old in this picture but I was still playing with Barbies!
I don't look too thrilled to be there but it was memorable. Great moment was when my mom, with her beautiful and strong voice, sang Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" over the background of the cascading waterfall.
