From to From.

I was just thinking of a friend today that has stood the test of time and has been through a lot with me. From soundboard visits when we both didn't want to be there but felt obligated to "I can't stand living on campus" to "we'd rather be roommates than friends," From "you need to clean your room" to "what did the cats get into now" to sleepy days because of good midnight chats. From late night editing to jabber-jaw listening to ice cream awarded "you just barely got that paper in" celebrations. From overwhelmed bamboo gifts to digging out cars with a trashcan to hours of walked pavement. From enjoying us two to open invitation of my other to joking as us three. From packing my things to undercover wedding details to letting me in to get shoes as we were "departing" for our honeymoon. From Greene walks loaded with confessions amid passing strangers to no one else gets it jokes to carmel frapaccinos. From world-travel dreams to awaited passports to prolonged patience. From new job wantings to interviewing hopings to quited job celebrations. From overwhelmed tears to never let go hugs to follow-up calls. From old friends leaving confusions to new friends coming joys to constant friendship remainings. From ice cream run hopefuls to swollen calf complainings to labor day desires. From silked blanket encouraging to blue sleeper enforcing to pink blanket encompassed hugging. From forgetful forgivings to assurance of friendship givings to whatever may come bringings, I thank you.

We love you (Aunt) Robin.

All three of us.

But some of us more than others.
