I have many fond memories of Emily from our childhood: born a month apart, we were inseparable for the first 10 to 15 years. Even after I moved, we called and wrote letters, eventually in a secret alphabet that only a few of us could read. I remember slumber parties, her cats and terrariums; how she knew the names of the trees and flowers; jumping on the trampoline, catching frogs and spending an entire summer sewing mermaid tails (hers green, mine purple), then having time to try them out only once before I left.

As the anniversary of Emily's death approaches, I finally gained the strength to read your comments. Daire, thank you so much to writing a tribute. It meant a lot to me.
