I remember when I was at the St. Louis NAAF conference, all the kids were so excited. They took a day trip to the zoo to see him. Too bad :(

Okay. I'm seriously sitting here tearing up. I realize it sounds silly. I live in St. Louis and Cinder was my very first encounter with another alopecian. I was a teenager and went to the zoo with my boyfriend at the time when I first saw Cinder and realized she had AU just like me. I remember going to the bathroom to call my mom to tell her what I saw. I frequent the zoo in the summer months and I always stop by to see her. It's really odd the connection I feel/felt with her. That is so, so sad to me.
