I’m a little late to the pizza party, but as it turns out, we’re eating pizza as I read your pizza pizza cancer cancer post, go figure. I love the photo of all of your friends, putting the pizza aside, as they look at you in awe, listening to your pizza speech. I can’t believe you’ve been battling this fight for 2 years! You’re amazing. You continue to inspire everyone you touch. I’m sorry about your friend. You were blessed to know Jhumki. Leaving a mark on those people we meet, know, love, is the best gift ever. It’s what I pray for, it’s what you are doing! Love you Kelly🦋🩵🙏

Thanks, Aunt Kathy. Tell me about this pizza you were eating. This was such a fun night, and it was really special that I got to share a little bit about Jhumki with my friends. Love you, too.

Hi there, our pizza was Craig’s favorite: pepperoni is a must, black olives, mushrooms and sausage. We prefer a thin crust, though this one had a more normal rounded edge. We’re in Turks and Caicos with Tyler and his girlfriend Charleigh. Have you ever been? The sand is whiter than white and soft as silk. Thinking about you on this beautiful day🦋🩵✝️

We met Dad, Pam, Brenna, and Claire there one December. Sounds like a lovely holiday.

Hahahaha! Our friend Chandra knew the punch line to 4 and 6. It was hilarious, like we had planned it.
