Lucky Lucky, I'm So Lucky

*
For Kiki, on a day when she feels "less than" when she is really so much more than she knows.

Remember that time ...

... You "helped" me climb on the roof in Dublin and I slipped, sliding all the way down the roof and almost falling to my death and all you could scream was "Jen! Don't die! You can't leave me here alone!!"

... I tried on those panties that were about 9 sizes too small and they ripped clean off my body!

... We watched "28 Days Later" and you forced me to let you sleep in my bed that night cause you were so scared that zombies were going to come get you.

... We ordered that massive "Wagon Wheel" pizza from Mizzoni's (can't believe I remember the name of that place) and we had to turn it sideways to fit it through the door!

... You burst into tears at that coffee shop because you JUST. COULDN'T. HANDLE. LIFE.

... We put that pylon on Cam's head and made him run around like a zombie, chasing the other kids.

... You called me hysterically crying from the airport because all the turbulence on your flight home to Canada scared you and you thought you were going to die.

... You lost your mind when the Africa team went home and had to take the day off work cause you couldn't stop crying.

... I had to scale the countertops and stove to run that excessively long ethernet chord all over the kitchen to set up our internet service that we only kept for 2 months before we moved again.

... Those sequined shoes you wore to walk around Dublin that cut up your feet and they got all infected and gross.

... We stayed up ALL NIGHT (multiple times) to watch Friends/CSI/3 Wishes/X-Factor etc.

Despite my feelings about Dublin, we had the best time together. You've always been able to cheer me up, inspire me and convince me to keep on pressing in when I want to do anything but. I love you, Keek - you are so much more than you know.

Have a better day, love.
