When I think of Barbara I smile. Barbara and I had a special bond. She was more than a cousin, she was the nurse in the delivery room when I was born. I remember going with my mom and her to have Hot Fudge Sundays at Hot Shops. I remember when I was almost 12, Barbara brought Dan to meet me and she said I needed to give my approval. I definitely did, he was a great guy. I remember her asking my mom the be Mother of the Bride and my sister April to be a Junior Bridesmaid. I remember what a beautiful bride Barbara was and that I caught her garter (that is sitting on my dresser). I remember seeing Barbara and Dan on holidays, dinners out, special occasions, and major mile marker in our lives. One Christmas Eve, to everybody's surprise, I somehow managed to convince Barbara that it was a good idea to make naughty gingerbread people. We laughed and giggled like fools. She had a great giggle. When I think of Barbara I smile.
