She's my first cousin and lives in Massachusetts. Her mother and my father are siblings.
Over the past few years, Jodi and I have become FaceBook friends and Words With Friends competitors. She knows more obscure words than anyone else I play with. We now exchange brief texts, mostly on the level of, "Good play." Or, "Go Patriots." Still, it's nice to have reconnected after so many years.
A couple of days ago Valerie texts me that Jodi, her husband and their two sons are meeting at Fred's for brunch, and would I like to join them. Jodi's younger son Alex is in a play at 59E59, and they are all going.
Jodi looks fantastic. Her husband, whom I've never met, whispers to me, "It's about time." So sweet, I think. And he's right. They've been married long enough to have two great boys, 28 and 25. I meet them both today. Everyone agrees to a photo, as who knows when we'll all be together again. Sooner, rather than later, I hope.
