alexa i know she likes this piece because she said evryday, “I am not a writer.” But she was and so much more.

Well, I just read her stuff. She seems like she was a tough bitch (I mean that in the best sense), and I hate to disagree with her – but she was wrong.

Yeah, I said the “w” word. And I meant it.

MJY, I’m truly very – I can’t even.

she really was a good writer but I forget that because she was such a great painter

she was such a writer… I love this piece because it holds such universal resonance

This is universal. and she always said MJY helped her write, but i’m sure the stories were hers.

great writing, Alexa. Is Jesi’s paintings on display anywhere? on the internet?

Some great images in this one. I especially liked the parade one. It seemed to capture that feeling of something great having happened, but now it’s over, leaving us with a mix of appreciation for what is gone and sadness for the passing.

Strong, powerful.

Very moving

You nailed it with the confetti after the parade image. That’s exactly how it feels.
