I lack a word for Danielle. I’ve tried sister, confidante, best-friend, comrade in arms, trip friend. All are inadequate and cover so few of the facets that adorn our relationship. So I’ll borrow a word from Sumerian: nín – oneself repeated, sister, one’s own but subtly different. That’s about as close as I can come to describing how she fits into my life.

She has been a part of so much of my early adult years. We were engaged for a period of time, we’ve tripped together many times, we’ve been each other’s confidant, and so much more. Danielle has always been on the grounding forces in my life; someone to deflate my ego and hold my hand.
