Belmar

When we graduated high school, I went with you guys to Belmar for the weekend.

Abby, Ben and I spent the entire time riding bikes, chilling on the beach, going into small used bookstores and reading. It was one of my favorite memories of being with all of you.

Ben lent me a book and I devoured it. It was The Strain, and it will always be one of my mostly highly recommended books.

At one point when we were exploring the used bookstore, we found an odd memoir with polaroids of strangers in it. Ben bought the book, and we spent the rest of vacation reading the book out loud and giggling. We spent so much time determining whether the memoir was true and who the strangers in the polaroids were. I will always treasure that memory and the polaroid that I kept.

Rest in peace, Ben.

Love,

Danae
