The Flight of Tiffany

My name is Wendy. I was a 14-year-old girl just trying to make it in todays cruel world. I lived in Florida with my mom and stepdad and then was sent to live with my dad and his wife Karen in South Boston mainly because I didnt get along with my stepdad. Even though I loved my dad and Karen a lot I revolted against them any way I could. My first week there as I was sitting outside eating lunch a little sparrow flew down and sat on the table with me. I was shocked and didnt know what to do. I tossed her a piece of bread and she took it and flew back to her nest. Minutes later she flew back. I was surprised as she hopped over and into my hands as I fed her. I named her Tiffany because she had sparkling eyes and I loved that name. She became my best friend and was always there for me. I was really bad the whole time I lived in Boston. I didnt mean to be but I wanted to go back home where my true friends were. After being sent home I didnt change my ways and became more defiant. Somehow I wish I could turn back the clock and change the way things turned out but that cant happen. We learn to live with our mistakes but I wish Tiffany was here with me. I missed her the most ... James A. Richardson Jr. says My wife Karen is a strong woman all around with a loving heart. Wendy is my daughter from a previous marriage and Tiffany was a little sparrow that became our friend and family. Publishers website: http: //
