Lucky 13

 

Thirteen people have made me who I am over the 77 years I have lived. Others have been close to me, and maybe I am underestimating their impact on my life. I am not including family, among whom I count the Killians. These 13 are to me undeniable and inseparable from or essential to my psyche, my person, however anyone dissects it, and regardless if I ever see them again.
