I'm usually pretty good about sharing how I feel about someone bc my biggest fear is having to say "I wish I could have told them"...the times I spent talking life over meals, banging arms, or even just a chat while stretching before practice with Jennifer are special, beloved times. I still remember her giving me tips on how to get stronger and feeling exhausted just hearing about it. I always admired, respected and adored this nerdy, giggly, compassionate badass and though I'm sure I told her how much I looked up to her, I allowed too much time to pass without checking in. I still can't even believe she won't be kicking my ass when I get back to class. I am not a fan of emotional overshare, but Jen had that smile that made you smile, that strength that made you push harder, and that heart that made you feel accepted with a mere "Hello". She is and will always be an incredible soul we were all so lucky to know and I just want to thank her for being my friend, my si hing.
