Jerry Delivered!

  This has been one exciting week. So exciting, that I did not have much time to write. There wasn't as many blog posts as last month, but I want each post to be good and full of interesting content, you see.
    This story begins the day before yesterday. I was in my bedroom in the middle of the afternoon. My sister Zaira comes up and hands me a manila envelope. I look down,  I only see my address. It is my handwriting in green marker. Slightly confused and almost disheartened, I think that it is the letter I sent out to Jerry Lewis, coming back to me, unopened. Return to sender.
   But realization kicks in. I remember, I decorated the letters envelope in multicolored marker stars! The envelope I was holding was the return envelope that I had enclosed with the letter, that is what you do if you want to get anything. The post Mark is Las Vegas.
   I jet downstairs in a flurry of excitement, getting my Mother. I tear open the back of the envelope-"Be Careful!" My mother tells me, I am so bad at opening envelopes. I see a flash of thin card board and glossy paper. I carefully pull out a photo, a signed photo from Jerry Lewis!!!
  The inscription was: "To Raven, My best wishes, Jerry Lewis. 15." It made me so happy, I had written so many others, who never wrote back. I sent my letter out, not expecting anything to happen, but still nursing the flames of hope and counting the days. Of course, earlier this month, I did stop counting the days, but I never lost hope or let myself get disappointed.
    And finally, it all paid off. I am so happy about this. I knew he wouldn't let me down, Jerry is from the old school of Hollywood, he knows the importance of letters and such. What a fantastic fella he is. I was crying and laughing at the same time, it was very unexpected.
   This week has been one for the books.
