have so many wonderful memories of her from the time when
she was a little girl (maybe 4 or 5) and had a crush on my
brother Peter (I guess she always loved guys with that name!)
and wouldn't stop following him around... to when she was
about 10 and went up to the t-shirt store and bought my sister,
Lindsay and I the most horrible tie-dyed jumpsuit as a present
(we wore it everyday on our vacation because she loved it
so much!) to the time about 2 months ago when I called her
in the hospital to cheer her up and all she wanted to do was
give me advice on being a first time mother... I would have
preferred to hear about the cute doctors that she was seeing
everyday but she insisted on preparing me for the horrors
of labor! Honestly though, that last conversation with her
was so special to me... I knew the discomfort and unhappiness
that she was going through and all she wanted to do was make
me laugh! She had such a way of bringing a smile to everyone's
faces with everything that she did...we are all so lucky to
have had her in our lives, although for too short of a time.
