Missy, Jenny, and Nica Playing Dress Up, circa 1980

Because my family moved so much, I’ve only kept in touch with a tiny, tiny handful of friends from my childhood. I found out Monday that Nica died last weekend, so now my little clutch of childhood friends is even smaller. It’s hard to believe she’s gone. I keep forgetting, and then remembering, and every time I do, I tear up again. I know a whole lot of people are missing her like crazy, so I’m in good company.

This is one of my favorite photos of Nica, from when we were kids.
