thoughts of donuts and roses

shared by Marlo R. Beall, her sister

Our mom has always been a huge fan of the Rose Parade. When we were kids, we all traveled to Southern California to watch it in person. I know we watched it at least once, possibly more. So when I watched the Rose Parade yesterday with my daughters, it made me think of my family, and of Cindy.

I particularly remember a picture of her watching the parade. She was somewhere between four and seven years old, and her hair was permed (maybe she was younger). She was eating a chocolate donut, and I think she had gotten some chocolate on her face. That simple, somewhat random memory of her made me appreciate the parade even more.
