since kindergarten

here's to bath tubs full of jello, to painting play houses, to playing make-believe, to hours of dancing, watching erie indiana & are you afraid of the dark, to swimming & slip-in-slide, summers in the "junk yard" and tumble weed houses. happy belated birthday lildra j, i love the girl you were, i love the woman you have become. it's been quite a ride for eighteen years...here's to eighteen more.

o goosh. I just saw this! it is so sweet. Here's to imagining that Dr. Claw lived in your garage ( until it got turned into a play room), feeding fake chickens, grading cat tests endlessly for math camp, random field trips with marti, lots of letters and romeo&juliet quotes freshman year, me throwing a fit when i couldn't be Tiger Lily at your birthday party (hello!? my name is lily...duh) and had to be Father Darling. and to spending a sweet summer of '06 together, and realizing that we had grown up so much. loves to you. talk to you soon on the celly. lildra j.
