This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 31, 2007:
My red tennis shoes. All the girls had them and my sister and I, with our mother's help talked our dad into letting us get a pair. He said we had to have the navy blue ones. Our uncle came over for a visit. He noticed that I was withdrawn a little and asked what was worng. I told him about the shoes and how I wanted the red ones, and how I always had to have what my sister had. He told me not to worry that he thought I would get the red ones. I DID and what happy little girl I was in my red shoes. Years later I learned from my friend Gwen that my uncle talked to her dad, who owned the shoe store about not having any other color in stock in my size but red. I was amazed that my favorite uncle loved me so much that he would see to it I got my red shoes. PS. Red is still my favorite color.
