Septemer 21st, 1963
Kenny has been itching in his pants to go for a swim in the beach and today he heard about one. Grandma Sands has been talking about a not so far beach from here that is nice and cool for us kids. She also claims " to be careful not to go in Collier's landing or you'll die just like the poor old soul of a boy that drowned from a dangerous WOOL POOH." She actually means whirl pool but because of her country accent she talks like that. Kenny is a dumb as a door knob and thinks that the " wool pooh" is actually a monster in the water that will come and drag you down till yeh drown. He is scared but he also wants to try the cool blue water in the river. We all go down with the annoyin princess Joey and Kenny makes us visit Collier's landing. I get tired and say " let's go" Kenny hesitates and stays behind. I purposely forget about him and leave him behind. All of a sudden I hear Kenny screaming for momma.I ran as fast as I could and saw Kenny stuck in a whirl pool and drowning. I dived in and pulled him out. When we were back on land we were both panthing because of what just happened. I just realized how much my brother meant to me. I am still angry that it took a dying moment of his to make me realize this.
