Jodi. I am so grateful that you didn't die any of those times you could/should have. If you did, I wouldn't know you. If it weren't for Woodstock Bookfest, I wouldn't know you. You my dear, make this world a better place, one person at a time, one sentence at a time. Love you so! "Yes, she is in fact, kicking me in the head, which she used to find hysterical. That and combing my hair with her feet."
Seriously, she is still that flexible, just not able to focus. I’d be lying next to her in the bed and all of a sudden her foot would come across my line of vision and into my hair and she would either try to pick my nose with her big toe or comb my hair with her feet, laughing hysterically, thinking she was just as cute as fuck.
I’m also grateful to the Woodstock fest for bringing you to me.

Thanks, Jodi! So the question I have is was she always funny? Or did she always think she was funny? Did you get it from her?
She’s always been a silly. 🥸
That's nice. I like knowing that.
Great essay. And I'm sorry for what you are experiencing.
Thanks Abby. Not ideal, but grateful I can do this for her.
