can i have your jello?

she was always

coming up

with fun things to do,

that i said

no to.

thankfully

her father was an orthopedic

surgeon.

she'd say,

let's go sky diving, or

horseback

riding,

or mountain climbing.

it's a good day for

bungy jumping.

(though it never really is)

i'd visit her in

the hospital, bring her

flowers,

cards,

and sit and talk with her

as she watched

tv while recuperating,

asking

if i could have her jello.
