The Florida Keys. Actual paradise on earth. Not that outer banks shit. Not that there’s anything wrong with the outer banks mind you. The keys were just, well, prettier. I mean we are talking crystal blue water, palm trees, a balmy 85 degrees in the winter, white sandy beaches, I could go on but I’ll spare you the details for right now. You always loved the Florida Keys. You and your parents had been going there to escape the rough Michigan winters ever since you were in middle school and more often than not, spend a few weeks down there as well during your summer breaks. Your family was always accompanied by your next door neighbors, the Kiszkas whenever you came down here, usually renting a house on the beach for one week out of the year. You were close with the Kiszkas, the twin boys to be exact, Jake and Josh. When you moved into the house next to them when you were about 8 years old and they were 9. They quickly took a liking to you, calling you their little shadow. You often spent your summers tagging along behind them while they explored the woods, the creeks, and everything nature had to offer to you. Karen, the boy’s mom, treated you like one of her own children. Always making sure to drag you along on whatever family adventure they were going on. Whether that was camping out, going to the zoo, water parks, movie nights. It was rare to not have you around. Ronnie soon became like a younger sister to you and Sam, well, like the annoying little brother you always wanted. Since you were an only child being “adopted” into your next door neighbors crazy family antics always filled you up with happiness and made you feel whole. You never had a boring moment in your life. You would spend your afternoons after school with the family doing homework or just simply hanging out. You wouldn’t have wanted to grow up any other way. Your families usually spent holidays together too since you and your parents didn’t have much extended family yourself. It was nice to have such a big and welcoming family for the holidays right next door.
