Buddy

My best friend’s age is mine reversed.

Only for a couple of weeks. Then we have to break out our calculators and see what mathematical mysteries lie between 25 and 42. While we laugh and sing and bop our way through our days.

She has the most amazing way of looking at things. She could organize a hurricane (she tries to help me, but I will go and stick out all over the place). She always sees straight through to the truth.

Some people miss it. They don’t listen to her; don’t hear how wise and alive she is for one so young. Her own large family is so noisy and busy and preoccupied that only her brother (a special young man himself) really listens and shares her light.

I am so lucky to have her in my life.

I love you J.
