Dear Photograph,

I will never forget those summer days in Dayton, Wyoming with my cousin Brett. Looking back I wish I had savoured them a little more. I’m so grateful I have a few good pictures of us together as kids. When I was a child, people would ask me if I wanted a brother or sister, and my response was always, “I don’t need one! I have my cousin Brett.” We lost him just a few months ago, and he is missed deeply every single day. Thank you for helping me to learn how to float.

Jess
