2009 - I remember this day fondly. I was pregnant, we played mini golf, and then chowed down on Ben & Jerry's. We shared a love of ice cream... :-)

My life won't be the same without you, Elizabeth. You were the first friend I made after I moved to Boston in 2004. We had the same sense of humor, love of eating at Zaftigs, and lots more in common. We chatted several times a week - and I keep thinking of things that I want to tell you and when I realize I can't, my heart breaks over and over again. I'll never, ever understand why you were taken away and I'll never stop missing you. But thank you for making my life so much richer over the past ten years.
