I love you, Jennifer

My cousin's funeral is today. I am so sad I can't be there.

Me, Jennifer, Frankie and my brother, Peter.

We danced.

Jennifer's birthday party. I remember being so jealous of that Strawberry Birthday cake. My aunt Jane was such an amazing baker.

1992.

I love that Jennifer and I were constantly changing. We look so different from year to year.

Ah, the peace necklace. I remember thinking, "Borrring" back in the day, because I was wearing, you know, safety pins or some garbage through my head at the time.

Jennifer and my brother at Frankie's wedding. That's the smile I will always remember. Those are the glittery eyes.

Below is the poem I wrote for her daughters.
