Exhibit A: Week 3: Shenanigans

Feb 05, 2013 22:54

The two of you walk out of class together, joking and laughing and carrying on. You exchange Invader Zim quotes back and forth, she clutching to her sketch book to her chest and you holding your notebook to your own.

Wow! Didn't see that ending coming! Nice flash through the years. AW

Thank you. The ending being a bit of a surprise is a good thing, I think. I know something like that can be a little hard to pull off -- but that's kinda how it hit us, too.

What an awesome friendship you shared. You must miss her.

I do. My husband was hit especially hard when we found out. You always think your friends are invincible, y'know?

That last line came to me before everything else did. Because really, my husband's best man (Bob) came to our house the night of the funeral before we were dressed. Pointed right at me and said "You should wear a dress." I told him that was already the plan.

Thank you. She passed away last month, so it's all still really fresh to me.

Aw, this was so sad. I like how you showed different significant moments throughout the years. It was well-done.

Thank you. I just went with whatever moments presented themselves first.
