"Halloween Harriet"..by Michael

She peeked from around a tree in front of my house. A magic wand waved and then she jumped out and said "happy Halloween". It was my grammar school sweetheart dressed as a little fairy. Our favorite season and celebration which we always spent together through those pre teen years. I gave her the nickname "Halloween Harriet" as she always amazed me at the costumes she wore when we went trick or treating. Eventually we attended high school together and became even more serious in our relationship. Both of our parents approved as we continued to be a couple through our college years. Naturally over time we spent many a thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years together. No fireworks were needed on July fourth since our flame was already established. It was not too long after we graduated college that a special occasion took place. The event was at a rented hall at the end of October. She peeked from around a pillar waving a magic wand. Her costume was that of a bride which made me smile at the memories and wishes of not too long ago. It was "Halloween Harriet"...
