25 on the 25th

I had the flu when she was born.
All I remember was that my eyes hurt
and that it was close to President's Day.
After two boys, I was glad it was a girl.
She turned 25 today.
On the 25th.
She got a tattoo when she turned
21.
On her toe.
She got another tattoo
today.
On her shin.
One is a sun.
The other, a hand
with an eye in the middle.
I wonder what they mean to her.
Last year, I found out that she was
molested as a child.
Then she came out of the closet.
I love her.
She's my friend.
I love her.
She's my kin.
I hope
I'm not the only
one
who loves
her.
