Life 101.5

It began for me on May 2, 1967.
It began for my half sister, Kendra, on May 11, 1967.
Forty-four years later, I found out Kendra was only nine days younger than I.
Mmmm.
I guess that makes me first in line for the Crown.
Oh, wait. There is no crown. Come to think of it, there aren't any family jewels either, unless you count Gary's "sovereign sapphires (which, by the way are blue, normally)." Gary is my birth father. I use "birth" in that way because he was the means to the end, which is me. :)
I  - am Mandy Leigh.
Take a journey with me.
By the way, Kendra is dead.
