When Shaunacy dances to music that isn't there.
When Dylan does math in his head faster than anyone else could.
When we listen to classical or jazz in the van because we can't agree on anything else.
When Lois brings home all the wild animals
When Kevin thanks the van for making it through a yellow light by kissing his fingers and touching them to the ceiling,
When Joey is Jerry. (But not when he's Joe)
When Keke doesn't stop talking.
When everything becomes an innuendo.
When Alyssa has all the answers.
When Shaunacy puts ketchup on everything.
When Joey makes Chili or Breakfast or Spaghetti for dinner because he doesn't know how to make anything else.
When Lois or Alyssa or Shaunacy sing at the top of their lungs.
When Keke just shakes her head in exasperation.
When we listen to Cherry Pie in the van "because it's tradition".
When Kevin bakes brownies. Or bread.
When Dylan won't stop talking about football (even though it drives me crazy).
When we all yell at each other without meaning a single word.
Well, Blue 1, we did it. We've come a long way since October 10th. We had some difficult times, some bumps in the long road, but we stayed strong and made it through. You are all my family now, even if we get on our planes home after graduation and never talk again. These ten months spent with all of you have affected me in ways I probably don't even understand yet. This has certainly been a fascinating experience and I'm happy (yes, really) to have shared it with the seven of you.
Love,
McKinley
