Title: "A Cuz" by Eric Gross
Description: Eric wrote this little story for me when he was in 8th grade. It's SO adorable.
Date written: Spring 2001

What is a cousin, is it a friend, or is it just a family member? To me I have one favorite cousin, I think of her as a role model, a sister, and a best friend. Her name, Tonya Fleetwood. She is the coolest cousin/friend. She can help you with anything. She doesn't know this but I think that her going to New York was good for her, family, and even me. Her cause she wanted to go so bad she'd do about any thing to go, family cause it is good for us to talk about her and what she is doing in her life, and then me of course cause I have the chance to get a new role model.

Tonya is so nice, she would do about anything for you. I know lots of times that Tonya would take me to Maryville to see her friends, or to go to St. Joe to go shopping. Tonya would spend money on me all the time and I would always say I'll pay you back.

All the time when we were little we would fight like three times a day. We would fight over the littlest things and I would just cry and she would get in trouble.

Tonya was so happy when she got the letter to go to New York University , but I knew she didnt want to go without our family. To tell the truth, I missed her so much after she left and I didn't want her to go but she was happy so I said goodbye to her and went to sleep cause it was like 9:00 pm when they left.

Connie said that we were going to see her in October but I couldn't wait that long. We finally left on the plane and when we got there we were sitting there then Mom saw yellow out of the corner of her eyes, it was Tonya with three bouquets of flowers for Connie, Grandma, and Mom and a pumpkin for me. The whole time we were there we were busy cause Tonya had to show us everything in three days.

Some time passed and it was time for Tonya to come home for Christmas, and when she got here it was a blast. We went everywhere. Then on Christmas Tonya wrote a speech and everyone cried, even me a little. So as I leave you I ask, what is a cousin.
