On the way to the studio Nik heard his own PSA
on the radio. Thank goodness the station had redone the recording using
a
professional announcer, but he still wasn't satisfied with the wording.
Maybe
he'd have to splurge and get one of those high-priced ad agencies to
come up
with a better campaign.
"Give your child the gift of Nature. Give
Nature the gift of your child. The next time you visit a Florida State
Park
consider that the girl writhing in the ecstasy of continuous climax
under the
oak tree could be your daughter, niece or granddaughter. That boy with
the
throbbing phallus learning to endure a full body orgasm, that could be
your
son, nephew or grandson. Save Florida's wild places without the aid of
any
pills, drugs, or hormones--simply the natural ability of the body when
attuned
to Florida's treasured natural environment. Contact The Hundred to
strip your
child for your favorite Florida natural place.
Qualifies for all school-required community service hours."
Still pondering what to do, Nik turned off the
electric car and pulled his naked body out of the seat.
He stretched in the Florida sunshine feeling
delightful tingles run up and down his skin. With a confident stride he
headed
toward the building. It was interview time!
Willie, his grandmother's friend from way back, had
somehow rummaged up
an assistant, an enthusiastic journalism student who went by the single
name
Davane. How the
curmudgeonly old man had
captured the interest of such a spirited young person intrigued Nik --
but the
world was full of surprises!
* * *
-- Good Morning, Nik, I really appreciate you
coming in to the studio.
-- Absolutely, my pleasure. It's really great
that you're getting your own show!
-- Incredible!
Willie's been collecting the SFF stories for years now,
but this will
get them out to a much larger audience.
-- Maybe even nationally?
-- Who knows. For now it will go out on the
Florida public radio network, but if NPR, PRI, APM or one of the other
distributors takes it on, then any public radio station in the country
has the
option to pick it up.
-- Wow, can you imagine hearing about stripped
kids on the radio in, say, Indiana?
-- I can dream, I can dream.
But we didn't come here just to talk about
me. Let's hear your
story!
-- Um, I've never told it before--properly, I
mean--I'm not sure where to begin.
-- Relax!
This is my first show, so I'm not taping it in 'live'
format. Just talk
naturally and I'll edit it
later. So, for our
listeners, welcome to
the Davane Show. I
am Davane and today I
am speaking with Nik Sami of The Hundred. Nike, why don't you start
just the
way you did the other night when I ran into you at the restaurant. You know, your
great-grandmother's cake.
-- The cake.
Oh man, that cake. My
aunt made
this cake for Mormor's 95th birthday. That's what we've always called
her. The
rest of the world may know her as Mattie or Dr. Jensen, but in our
family she's
Mormor. It doesn't
matter what
generation you are. 'I refuse to be any older than a grandma' she says.
Anyway.
my Aunt Tracie puts 96 candles on this cake, 95 for the years and one
for good
luck. Really crams
those candles
on. Nearly set the
house on fire. The
wax started dripping down and flowing
over the top of the cake and down the sides, I thought the cake, the
table and
Mormor's hair were all going to go up in flames.
Fortunately someone was thinking fast and
popped a cookie sheet down on the whole thing.
The cake wasn't even damaged once we let the wax cool and
lifted it off
the top!
-- That's a great story, but how did this event
change your life?
-- Right . . . well, that was eight years
ago. Mormor always
knew how to enjoy
life. She managed to make very keen observations about human nature and
she
often used those insights in very mischievous ways.
-- That's a generous way of putting it! Some people would call her
controlling.
-- She definitely shaped the world around her.
-- Go on.
-- Well, on the day of the cake I had just been
accepted into the management program at UCF.
I was totally excited and ready to do the undergraduate
work and then go
on to get my MBA. I
drove up to my
aunt's place in Ocala for the birthday celebration and was planning on
heading
right back to Orlando the next day for the orientation.
* * *
"I've prevailed upon your mother to have
you stripped." My
grandmother
announces. She goes on about the details of how she'd convinced my
mother, that
she has the chip, that I will be naked by the time I'm driving back to
Orlando.
As she is talking I am doing a quick mental
calculation. By the
time I'm finishing
as an undergrad, my time as a stripped boy will be over. I can live with being
naked in college.
"Okay, 'til I'm 21, right?"
"Haven't you been listening, Nik -- you're
being stripped for life."
"Oh, no, Mormor.
I'm getting my MBA."
* * *
-- I wasn't upset about the nudity part. My family's roots are
Scandinavian. We
swim nude, do the nude sauna thing.
We're not shy about bodies.
No, it was the professional side of it.
Athletes, dancers, bar tenders, whatever . .
. if you're stripped for life it is either an asset or it doesn't
matter. But
the world of business is still all about "the clothes make the
person," dress for success, power dressing and all that.
* * *
"I'm serious, Mormor, I'm going into
business, don't you
understand?"
* * *
-- Also, I was 17 years old.
I guess every Florida child has it somewhere
in the back of their mind that they just might get stripped one day.
But the
window was getting narrower, I was almost 18, and . . . well, I had
mentally
put it out of my mind. My grandmother has been directly or indirectly
responsible for stripping hundreds, maybe thousands, of Florida
children. You know
those four students who were chosen
for their academic record and then stripped and brought to orgasm right
before
being brought on stage to address a historic preservation conference .
. . "
-- I don't know that story."
-- Oh, well, Willie's recorded that one. You
should ask him about it. That led to the City of St. Augustine
stripping kids
for their 450th anniversary celebration, then to two kids from every
county
being stripped for the opening of the Florida legislative season . . . "
-- Oh, yes, I heard about that one, but
thousands?"
-- Commemorative strippings--that's what they
called those--now there are celebratory striplings: birthdays,
weddings,
shit--they stripped, what, 500 kids or something for a half time show
in
Orlando recently. All
bells and whistles
and technology. Kids
coming in
choreographed waves across the fields, fountains of sperm. It's all my grandmother's
doing."
-- Wow!"
-- Yes, well, you see--with all that going on I
thought I'd slipped off the radar. So, the conflagration is put out,
the cake
is rescued, everyone is breathing a sigh of relief, and one of the
youngsters
pipes up with, 'Mormor, did you make a wish?' We all laugh. I'm
thinking, sure,
the wish was that the house doesn't burn down.
But Mormor, cool as a cucumber says, 'Yes, Danny, I did.'
And she looks
right through the assembled group, straight at me, and says, 'Nik, can
you
delay your trip back for a day. I'd like to see you in the morning. Ten
thirty
would be good.' It wasn't a request. It was a typical Mormor order.
'Sure, I'll
be there.' And so I was.
* * *
Nobody uses the front door of my Aunt Trace's
house unless it's a salesperson or Jehovah's Witnesses.
The real way in is around back, down the
driveway. There's
an amazing oak tree
behind the house. It's
huge and it's
branches drape over four properties.
There
are no fences, just the tree standing there in stately majesty with its
limbs
bending down in graceful arcs across the properties, the houses set
back in
their four respective directions.
Under
this tree is a boy about two or three years younger than myself, lying
on his
back, his body glistening with oil, on the receiving end of what looks
to be a
very erotic massage. The
masseur is an
older man -- honestly, I have no idea of his age -- wrapped in a blue
and white
cloth around his waist, his torso tanned and bare and muscular. He is sweeping his hands
up the boy's body in
long strokes, starting at the toes, running them up the legs and
thighs, right
across the boy's penis which seems to grow longer with each stroke. The
boy's penis
rises into the air, reaching for the hands which are now kneading the
boy's
torso and passing up the chest and massaging across his shoulder's and
down his
arms. The boy's
penis quivers in the
air. I stand
mesmerized by the sight for
a few minutes. I
turn toward the house,
feeling my own erection beginning.
Mormor is waiting for me, sitting in a lounge
chair on the big back porch. I
realize
she has a perfect view of the spectacle under the live oak.
"Carlos, Wanda's nephew from next
door. I asked to
have him stripped so I
could conduct a little study."
"Mormor! You can't just have people
stripped willy-nilly for your little experiments. It's just not right!"
"Well, you're about to be on the receiving
end as soon as Joe's finished with Carlos, then you can personally let
me know
whether it is so terrible or not."
The import of this remark didn't sink in until
Mormor followed up, "I've
prevailed
upon your mother to have you stripped."
My protests are met with a quick application of
the strip chip behind my left ear and details of her conversations with
my
mother.
"Get out of your clothes, you are to have
a massage." With great reluctance and tingling anticipation I pull off
my
shirt and let my pants drop to the ground.
It is the last time I ever wear clothes.
Mormor looks up and I follow her gaze.
The boy's body is undulating on the table like a great
wave. Joe is
holding Carlos' feet, gently, as if grounding the enormous energy
surging
through his body. It
is beautiful to
watch, and mesmerizing. I
don't know how
many minutes pass by before the boy settles back down on the table. Joe
moves
to the boy's head, cradles it, then helps him to sit up and offers him
a bottle
of water. They walk
across the grass
under the great tree and are hidden as they walk around to the house
next
door. Joe comes
back alone. Standing
under the tree again he rolls his
shoulders, seems to adjust his own neck, and rubs his hands together
briskly. He removes
the wrap from around
his waist and folds it neatly, placing it under the table. He quickly undoes the
covering on the massage
table and bundles it up, replaces it with a new cover.
I watch him pour out a new bowl of oil from a
flask. Preparations
complete he strides
naked to the porch.
"Joe, please meet my great-grandson. Nik, this is Joe." Our eyes meet. I was to spend a great
deal of time in the
hands of this man.
A jolt of electricity shoots through my body
the moment Joe first places his hands on my back.
Always keeping contact with my skin, Joe
works warm oil into my skin with long strokes up my back, shoulders,
neck and
arms. He shifts to
my feet, paying
exquisite attention to each toe, tendon and muscle.
I feel a lifetime of tension built up in
every part of my foot and ankle being worked away with careful
attention to
every detail. My
sense of time begins to
alter as Joe restores each part of my body to a natural state I didn't
know
existed. His hands work into my calves and knees and then into my upper
legs
and thighs. I begin
to feel stirrings in
my groin, but then he shifts his attention to my lower back and then my
buttocks. His hands
work warm oil deeper
and deeper into the complex of muscles and tendons that converge in the
hip and
buttock region, working tensions out of my back and my legs. He begins working the
strokes in long sweeps
up my legs and inner thighs and upwards along each side of my backside. By the time his hands
reach under me and
snake my penis out from beneath my stomach and pulls the shaft down
between my
legs I am already thrumming with arousal.
Joe continues to sweep up my legs and thighs, his hands
right alongside
my penis, up over my buttocks and then reversing his stroke to massage
my penis
under his hands as he pulls down towards my feet.
With each of these strokes I feel as though
my penis grows another inch longer. My center of self moves into that
lengthening shaft and I feel the warmth building up inside like a hot
glowing
brand.
Joe's hands move to my left side. "I'm
going to guide you onto your back."
I roll over.
My penis throbs in the air, pulsing with a life of it's
own, erect and
parallel to my abdomen. I
know I'm going
to shoot the second Joe starts the massage again.
Instead, Joe moves to my feet and holds them in
a firm grip, grounding me for several long minutes.
My penis remains engorged, but I no longer
feel on the absolute verge of cumming.
Joe's
hands start moving, working my feet again, reinforcing the release of
tension
that had been so carefully worked out of my toes, soles, heels and
ankles less
than an hour earlier. Long
massage
strokes connect my feet to my shins, my shins to my knees, my knees to
my upper
legs. I penis
begins to throb in
anticipation. One hand keeping a light touch on my skin Joe moves
around to my
head and brings my awareness to a whole new world of tension. Fingernails move lightly
across my scalp and
then more deeply as Joe's strong hands move in circles across the top
and sides
of my head. He
brings his hands under my
neck and then pulls back, lifting the full weight of my head, rocking
it
gently. With the
slightest of movements
Joe slowly unwinds the kinks, releases the tension in my neck muscles,
and gets
the blood flowing through all the tiny capillaries of my scalp. Laying my head down gently
onto the table,
Joe maneuvers to the side of the table and connects my body, from toes
to head
with long sweeping strokes. On
the third
stroke he sweeps to right and left of my penis, arousing my attention
once
again to my blood-filled phallus.
Now it
is time for my face. A
full face massage
loosens the grip of muscles holding my eyes tight, my forehead, my jaw,
even my
ears! Standing
behind me and leaning
forward, Joe begins the work of releasing my chest.
With a sudden intake of breath I feel like my
body has been starved of Oxygen since I was two years old. Unbidden
tears
spring to my eyes and I feel an odd combination of grief, release and
relief.
"Just let it flow," Joe encourages
me, "let it flow."
Tears run down my face as Joe continues outward
from my sternum along my pectoral muscles, and then along the gap
between each
of my ribs. He grips each of my nipples and gives them a sharp tweak. I let out a yelp and Joe
chuckles. I'm
surprised to feel the sensation all the way to the tip of my erection! Joe's hands began to kneed
my abdomen with
sweeps up to my chest and down along my hips.
Once again my awareness shifs to my sexual center. My penis aches for touch,
the more so as each
stroke get closer and closer. I
want to
reach down and place Joe's hand on my organ, but the massage strokes
along my
skin and deeper into my tissues keep me tantalized.
My body begins a slow undulation, like long
waves rolling onto the beach. Then drops of warm oil dribble the length
of my
penis and Joe takes it into both hands with a firm grasp, pulling it up
toward
my head, pulling down towards my balls, pulling my penis straight up
into the
air, letting it throb and then plunging slowly, firmly, forcefully
down, down
until his hands meet again at my pubic bone. Up again, hold, down. Up
again.
The feeling is both electric and gravitational, my body hovering
upwards to
meet an energy field somewhere just above the end of my penis.
"Now that you're stripped, Nik, I want to
let you know the rest of my plan."
At the sound of my grandmother's voice I nearly
leap out of my skin except that I am already nearly out of it already
with the
force of arousal.
Joe's well-oiled hand grasps the bulbous head
of my penis and twists as if juicing it.
I let out an involuntary gasp as Mormor's voice filters
through to my
awareness in bits and pieces of sound.
" . . . in one hundred locations . . .
exceptional natural beauty."
Joe pulls down on my shaft and then twists his
hand as he pulls up.
" . . . want you to continue your studies
. . . future will become clear . . . "
Joe's finger carefully presses into the
frenulum and over the glans of my penis, with a another firm push into
the
opening at the tip. He
draws his finger
down the length of my shaft and then his other hand works another
juicing
motion around the bulb. The
sensation is
so intense I can barely hear Mormor's continued monologue.
". . . transformative experience over the
next four years. I
don't have a lot of
money, but I'm investing it in experts in this type of massage and in
your
growth and development . . . "
My growth is all in the phallic department at
the moment and I am both afraid of and highly anticipating that moment
when I
will shoot a fountain of sperm thirty feet into the air above me. Joe
grasps
the base of my penis and pulls gently down on my balls, his one hand
grasping
tight around the girth of my penis while his other hand draw up the
full length
of the shaft. He repeats the gesture, pulling my balls a little farther
from
the shaft. His fingers reach under my balls and apply pressure to a
spot right
between the root of my penis and my anus. I can feel the rest of my
phallic
organ--the one third or one half that lies engorged with blood deep
inside my
body--the part that snakes inward rather than up and outward. Joe continues to work my
penis while his
other hand moves up my abdomen, his fingers splaying outward deep into
my
muscles. My shaft
seems to grow longer
at both ends--deep inside me and upwards into space.
My body began to undulate in slow waves. A
stroke up my phallus, a hand splayed up my abdomen, a stroke up my
phallus, a
hand massaging up my full abdomen, a stroke up my phallus, now both
hands
massaging all the way up my torso and chest. A stroke up my phallus and
hands
massaging down my legs. The strokes continue, pulling up my erection
and then
spreading the sensation of impending orgasm into the rest of my body
and limbs.
"Breathe," Joe intones.
"Breathe, that's right."
My breath synchronizes with the strokes. Waves
of sensation spread outward from my center. Joe continues the strokes
along my
penis and then outward, spreading the sensation down my legs, up my
torso. Then
it happens. My body explodes into what I describe as a slow motion full
body
orgasm. A have a momentary image of my entire body as one complete
penis. The
image fades but the waves of orgasm through my musculature increase.
"Breathe," Joe's voice is deep, calm,
centering. His hands on my feet gently ground me. I ride the event as
both
outside observer and as the event itself, as if I were both the surfer
and the
wave, the seabed and the tsunami.
* * *
And that was how I got what Mormor used to call
my first "attunement". Over
the next four years I completed my B.A. degree in business management
while
every two weeks receiving another attunement to a Florida site of
unique
natural beauty. I travelled every 14 days to a total of one hundred
places,
sites famous and completely obscure, but each one a treasure of
Florida's
natural endowment. By the end of the hundred, I had indeed experienced
a total
transformation: in the sensations I feel during the massage, of my
awareness of
the natural world, of the sensations I feel in my own body at each and
every
moment of every day.
"Is that when you founded the
organization?"
"Over the course of a hundred massages,
and of course my education, and conversations with Mormor, and meeting
hundreds
of Florida residents, park rangers, wildlife conservationists,
ranchers,
fishing folk, water experts, you name it . . . over the course of this
time it
had become clear what the next step should be. But we didn't found the
organization at the very moment I got the hundredth massage, no.
Instead we
began building up the core structure and getting more people involved.
Meaning,
we began stripping and massaging more young people.
"You say it had become clear to you what
to do next. Do you mean The Hundred . . . the organization?"
"Yes, not just the outward name and
structure, but the deeper foundation.
Mormor
was a cultural anthropologist. She
observed that kids are out of touch with nature.
Everything is too controlled, hygienic,
urban. Children
grow up with no tribal
connection to the land or to one another.
This is not entirely a new problem, but we can't go back
in time to a
tribal society, nor can we reuse an earlier attempt at a solution. We
can't
create some fictional pastiche of pre-European contact American Indian
culture
the way the boy scouts did it. Nor
the
ancestral Teutonic tribal ethos oddly mixed in with Roman Catholic and
Lutheranism the way the big naturist movement in Europe did it. They were really big on
stripping kids, by
the way, it's very interesting to study.
We can't just reinvent Papua New Guinea tribalism without
the violence
and misogyny, or Hawaiian sex and body-positive culture without the
castes and
taboos. No, we have
to start where we
are, build something up from what we have.
What Mormor had, evidently was me.
Three things, actually: she knew this network of masters
of erotic
energy and massage since way back when she and Willie were hanging out
with
Joseph Kramer, Sunshine, Annie Sprinkle, and those early erotic
explorers. She had
put together this list of 100 Florida
places of natural scenic beauty. And
she
had me, her great-grandson.""
"But, you weren't her only great-grandchild?"
"No, not at all.
When I asked her, why me, she replied,
'Intuition, calculation and sheer willingness for it to be. My
intuition was
that you wouldn't really resist--that you'd go along with it. My calculation was that
you'd somehow merge
the experience with your talents and interest in management and
business. I knew
the real fruition would come later, so
I decided I'd pass out of this life with the will that something
miraculous
would come to be.' "
"Is it true that Willie got into the whole
nudity thing because of your grandmother?"
"Well, really you should ask him. But when I posed that
question to Mormor she
just laughed. 'He was naked all the time! He was living next door with
some
other young people and I finally confronted him one day across the back
yard
fence. I don't care if you're naked, I told him. So you can stop
running back
into the house every time you think I'm home.
Then I invited him over for tea, but only if he'd come
over in the nude.
One thing led to another and soon he was sharing his experiences with
massage
workshops, pagan circles, radical faeries, the gamut. In fact, that's
how I
first met Annie Sprinkle, through a connection of Willie's.'"
"So when did she formulate her plan for
you?"
"Mormor's an interesting person -- was,
sorry, I keep forgetting I can't just run up and visit her in person --
anyway,
she always mixed keen observation with an acute intuition and then
threw in a
big dollop of faith just for good measure.
She didn't really have an entire plan, of that I am sure.
But she knew
it would work, whatever it turned out to be. She had huge faith in
letting
things unfold on their own, granted that things were set up right in
the first
place. Of course, that's where she get her controlling reputation from,
her
powerful actions to set things up according to her own vision. I give
her
credit for a lot of important insights. One thing she observed over
time was
that the erotic workshops that Body Electric and Annie Sprinkle were
promoting
were helping a lot of individuals, but not necessarily creating
community. We
live in a very individualistic society, so that isn't an indictment of
their
methods. But Mormor wanted more, especially when it came to protecting
Florida's natural wildness. If we're to get young people invested in
nature, we
have to tap into something really deep. Erotic energy is about as deep
as you
can go. When a young person comes to us, we take them straight into
wild
nature, strip them and immediately do the first attunement massage,
just like
the experiences Carlos and I went through."
"Carlos, your aunt's neighbor kid?"
"Right, the boy who was being done when I
got to the house that day. He's now one of our two Assistant Directors. By the way, his cousin,
Maria, is the other. So,
the new arrival gets taken to the wild piece of Florida nature he or
she is
going to be associated with, stripped, gets the first attunement, and
begins
the process."
"Which is what, exactly?"
"Each child will be associated with only one
Florida location. The attunement begins the process of investing their
identity
with a sense of that place. Awakening their own eros and the eros of
the place,
entwining them together. The massage awakens the child and then she
goes
straight into the environment. There
is
nothing like having a half hour orgasm and diving immediately into a
spring-fed
river and skimming along the bottom with turtles and fish, the sunlight
playing
all around you, the blue, sapphire, turquoise water a liquid gem; or
paddling
across a flooded prairie, alligators sunning around you and hundreds of
ibis
flying just over your head as they head towards their evening roost.
Manatees,
panthers, flamingos, owls, sandhill cranes, sturgeon, Florida is an
amazing
place. But the key is that each of our participants attunes to one
place and
they go deep. We alternate massages and orgasms with trekking, paddling
and
observation. They learn from experience and from expert guides. They
live on
site for weeks at a time and learn to live on the land. There is no
artificial
overlay of constructed culture, just what they bring to it themselves
and what
those around them bring. The rest comes from the place itself."
"So, what is the outcome you are expecting
from this program? Are these kids all stripped for life? Are they going
to live
on the land forever? How many people do you even want to be living in
these
wilderness locations?"
"Most of our participants are like any
other Florida stripped kid. They're naked until they're 21. That's it.
We're
giving them an intensive experience but it's just for a short
time--however
many months or years from when they begin until they aren't stripped
anymore. My
guess is that each of these people will be connected to their place in
Florida
for the rest of their lives, but in different ways: as advocates for
preservation of the place, as volunteers, as donors, as recruiters of
the next
generation of young people. We'll have to see as the program evolves.
Perhaps
we'll have reunion events where adults can strip down for a weekend and
reconnect on that level with the place. I have faith it will unfold in
some
excellent way. But as for our goals today, the program works on several
levels.
There's a Tibetan Buddhist practice of burying a so-called 'Treasure
Vase' at
environmentally sensitive sites. The contents of the vase are supposed
to focus
energies to improve and bring harmony to the surrounding area. I see
these kids
as our treasure vases. For all the hours that the boy or girl is being
massaged
on site, their erotic energy is suffusing the area. It is like
Christian orders
of nuns or monks who live in isolation praying and meditating all
day--these
practices are our meditation for the place.
At the next level we are connecting these young people
with their own
full selves, and by extension to the full selves of others. Each cohort that is
together at a location
develop a very deep bond. They are trained to give and receive the
massages--we
wouldn't have enough people to give massages otherwise, but it is
imperative
that a person be able to give and receive. I give a massage nearly
everyday
myself and have learned so much in the process. So, we're developing
these
mini-tribes of boys and girls who will have a deep connection to one
another
and to the place where they attuned together."
"Do these young people also have sex while
they're in your program?"
"Our program isn't about sex per se, I
mean about having sexual relations with another person.
Our massages are about exploring,
understanding and unfolding erotic energies. But, our participants are
stripped
for Florida. Like
all stripped kids in
Florida they're free to have sex with any other stripped person they
like. We
don't do anything to hold back or encourage that level of connection.
It's the
same with recruitment. Florida kids are stripped by their parents, they
are put
into our program by their parents or guardians. Whether they child made
the
initial push to be involved in our program or the parent just signed
them up,
we take it from there. Our focus is on running a well-managed
organization that
gives young people an unforgettable entry into a lifelong connection
with their
own bodies and feelings, nature, and their peers."
"Your grandmother passed away before her
dreams came to fruition. How did she feel about the progress of her
plan while
she was still alive?"
"Mormor's last birthday celebration was
for her 99th year. I'd
completed the
hundred attunements. She told me many times how much she enjoyed the
glowing,
pulsing, erotic person I was becoming. We shared hours of talking
together,
sharing observations about society, the different parts of Florida we
had
experienced, nature, how to manage an organization, education,
philosophy,
politics. Mormor
was really my best
friend."
"Hmmm . . . "
"But she's still with me.
We lit 100 candles on her cake. 99 years plus
one for good luck. No
conflagration this
time -- the cake was huge, the candles far apart from one another, in
proper
holders to catch the wax. Those
candles
blazed and Mormor's face just glowed.
Right after she blew them out, she looked up at the
assembled group of
family. 'I already got my wish.' I
keep
those words close to my heart. She already knew things were unfolding
in the
right direction."
