My grandparents’ neighbor, known for his collection of cars that he moved to keep out of the sun and covered in towels, huge family, beautiful lawn, and ability to never have a job.

The boy my parents forbid me to see, that I dated for nine months behind their backs. Six years older than me, was sweet and a virgin. Years later, I finally deflowered him.

Having grown up in Kuwait, he knew violence. Liked to make fun of the gory driver’s ed movies. When he saw I was upset at one, tried to protect me from seeing it.

Otherwise frustrated coach and teacher with a pedistache, taught driver’s ed with an intensity that just make kids laugh at him. Thought he was going to have a heart attack in every class.

Most chill dude ever. Never raised his voice or used the idiot brake. When I was going 15 over the highway speed limit, he calmly asked what I thought I should do about that.

My first friend in new school, first date, first dance, first kiss. After that kiss, he said, “Well,that kind of sucked, didn’t it?” and called me a couple days later to break up.

First friend in new school, and our mutual teenage angst made us immediately close. My parents hated her, which only heightened her allure. Turns out she wasn’t really like me, and we grew apart.

Gave up a sports writing career for the “intrinsic” rewards of teaching high school English. I did some great writing in his class, and am still anal about making my verb tenses parallel.

New at our school in sixth grade, and was just the hottest thing I’d ever seen in his little preppy pink shirt. Was later on The Bachelor, and was even hotter grown up.

The glue of our family, the one that made us all be respectful. Laughed until the tears ran silently down his face. “I’m standing strong now, cause I once sat on your knee.”
