7/365 (Mrs. Warren - First Grade Teacher)

She dressed up Governor George Nigh for Halloween in first grade. In a strange turn of events, her husband served as our family photographer a year later.

6/365 (Kristin)

Today is your 26th birthday. I didn't call because I lost your number. And we lost each other somewhere over Illinois and Iowa, papers and boyfriends.

5/365 (Grace)

110% friends 30% of the time. You are frightening brains and unforgiving beauty, but mostly brawn (except when it comes ketchup, which you think is spicy).

4/365 (Isaiah)

Behind your Ramones t-shirt, black and white checked slip ons and worn skinny jeans, you're still a kid that needs to do his math homework.

3/365 (Venita)

You taught me sign language, to read music, to sing, to play violin, to be kind. I hated church, but happily suffered through for you.

2/365 (Ryan)

I think I loved you when I was supposed to be loving my boyfriend. I hated that he met you first. We could have been great.

Sometimes, I am bad at paying attention.

So, I didn't read the directions carefully and forgot to choose how many words I will be using per post. I'm 26, so... 26? Will proceed at 26x365 from this point on.

You smelled like crayons and carried wallpaper scraps for impromptu art projects. Your ropelike braid provided stability during piggy backs through the underbrush. You taught me to press leaves, play 45s and ask questions of big people. I still think of you some Thursday nights.
