Time to celebrate! Judy had told Jeej that she wanted to thank him by throwing a barbecue, and she’s true to her word. She invites all of us too, Jeej’s family. I’m almost ten years old at the time, and I’m excited about meeting this amazing woman. I not only meet her, but also the nurses, other lifeliners, and Judy’s youngest daughter Miriam, who is my age. I get to try cookies, Judy’s own, and waterskiing for the first time too. It’s a long, bountiful day.
