Whenever I listen to Loreena McKennitt, I think of my best friend awesome!T. I think of shared summers and sleepovers in big beds falling asleep to the strains of celtic drums and lilting voices. I remember the chair we painted when we were going to have a custom painting business. I remember the dog walking we did and the ladies who would go gambling and tip us hugely if they won. I’m fairly certain they thought awesome!T and I were a couple; we did make my mother question our closeness on occasion. Awesome!T, my sister – my bosom companion of childhood.
