I fell in love with Jacey the moment I saw her. I don't mean in the romantic sense. I don't "make friends", I fall in love. There are many different kinds of love, after all.
Here are some reasons why I love my Jacey.
- She loves me unconditionally. In fact, she eggs me on to act out whenever possible.
- She is an "animal whisperer". She speaks every language and dialect in the animal world.
- (I personally believe she's an animal psychic.)
- She is like a third daughter in my heart.
- She calls me "Wolfie" like our other daughters do.
- She has a heart of gold.
- She is unpredictable, but in a fascinating way.
- She loves the Beatles as much as I do.
- She was born on the same day as Paul McCartney, although a great number of years later.
- Like Ville, she's a Gemini. I love Gemini women. As friends.
- When she, V, and I get together, we are the Beatles.
- She "gets" me.
- She doesn't make a fuss about things.
- Whenever she comes to our house for a party, she always brings me a bottle of champagne and won't let me share it with anyone.
- She overcame and conquered bone marrow cancer when she was 12. That experience gave her a wisdom and a love of life that is beyond her years.
- Being half-Italian, she brings great hors d'oeuvres to our parties.
- Also being half-Italian, she takes care of the people she loves.
- She takes sick and/or injured animals into her home and loves them back to health. Sometimes, all she can do is give them a lot of care and love until they pass on, which is even more noble and selfless, because I know it's painful for her.
- She adores musicians, and cuts us a lot of slack.
- Like me, she's a collector of colorful people and surrounds herself with interesting characters.
This is Ville and Jacey at the party that was seen in the film.
The friendship between us isn't one that requires hugs and kisses, constant contact, or reassurances. It runs deep and silent and just is. In fact, we've never spoken about this with each other and we probably never will. We don't have to. We just know.
I love you Baby Cakes!
