my sixth picture in my sixth folder is of me & kristin. this picture was taken in august 2005. i had just gotten home from a summer in europe. we met up unexpectedly at a local drinking hole. sublime was playing in the background. we had been out of touch for a while. she was my best friend. the closest thing i ever had to a sister. my freshman year roommate. a teacher. a daughter. always smiling. bright, blue eyes. fun. happy.she was killed in an accident about a month after this picture was taken. i loved her and i miss her every day.
This post breaks my heart, and yet simultaneously brings joy. What a lovely remembrance of clearly an amazing friend this image is. I mourn your loss with you, and thank you for sharing your friend's bright memory with me. Peace.
