During the duration of one's life, one must undergo an experience that will change them forever.  This can be as small as an action seen on the street, something one has read, or a meaningless comment said by someone else.  On the other hand, this can be as big as a trip such as a church retreat, family vacation, mission trip, or adventure somewhere.  I cannot say that I have undergone any of these, but I do remember a prominent person that has helped to shape me to who I am. 

She was an interesting woman with eyes spread apart and wide.  Her height was above normal and her body was unusually thin.  The lack of a chest always caused me to stare in that general area, almost like if I willed hard enough something will appear and she'd look proportional.  Bony elbows and lack of any hips added to this.  She wasn't given much of a figure, but it suited her nonetheless.  What she lacked in body fat, she made up for in mystery and spirit. 

Her spirit was as mysterious as her aura, always reliant on one's imagination, but the imagination wouldn't come close to how her true spirit was shaped.  Through the test of time, only she would be the one to know how her spirit was shaped.  Even then, I doubt she came up with a definite form.  Always quiet, always to herself, and always off on some world she was.  I wanted to know her more, but I wasn't sure how to accept her in my mind.  Maybe she wasn't sure how to accept herself.  She certainly was unique in her own ways, and I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. 

She also had a special ability.  I never understood what it was, but there was something about her.  My finger searches to press it so I can understand what it was, but it never found it.  Not even after she left us, walked away one evening and never returned except in our memories.  I want her to return, so I can see her again; that will never happen.  At least, that's what everyone said once she was gone.  It was natural for them to think as such.  There's something in me, however, that states otherwise.  Can she really return from where she's gone.  Science says she can't, but I believe she still lives on.  She still breaths the same air as I do, and that's comfort enough to keep living.
