Rachel's Daily Diary 3 49 pm pdt [ tattoo ] I remember her tattoo most of all. She had several and so did he. She showed me the fairy on her shoulder blade. "Why would you want a tattoo you can never see?" I asked. Her smile always bordered on a smirk. She claimed she was thinner normally, but that her birth control had made her gain fifteen pounds. I didn't pay any attention. I couldn't picture her any other way than how she looked. I remember places we went, and the little car accident he got in. She drove on the wrong side of the street. We ate good food. I remember her tattoo most of all. She had a stunning Celtic heart around her belly button. She sent me a digital picture years later, when she'd lost the weight she had been so upset about. She was hard to recognize. * * * two years ago today: "Major massage time." one year ago today: "I must sound so 21." |
