My Birth Given Best Friend 👯‍♀️

In January of 1998, my cousin by birth, best friend by choice Kennedy was born. She only had about 7 months of peace before my loud mouth followed her 🤣 Swipe to watch the two of us grow up!

Bit of a time gap between pics four and five, it’s where photo albums end and Facebook photos begin 😅

Kennedy has been through a lot in the last few years. A lot is an understatement. Through it all she has remained kind and patient and loving and altruistic. To say I love this woman would be an understatement 💗

I’ve done a lot of talking about myself here on 🍋8 but if you know me then you should know Kennedy too. She loves animals, that’s the biggest thing she would want you to know. The biggest thing I want you to know is that she is as beautiful inside as she is outside.

That’s all. I simply love her very much and wanted to show off the beautiful years we have shared together!

birth control culture is hurting us
