A Journal

Hello, my name is Jessica I am 17 I live in Vancouver, Washington with my twin brother Justin who is blind and my older brother Sean. Justin and I were born 16 weeks premature and almost died. We had heart surgery, lung surgery, and eye surgery. We almost died. We are both 17, going on 18 this year on May 13th. Justin can play piano and beat box. I sing and I'm in choir at my school. Sean is 21 and has a full time job at Office Max. Sadly, he has epilepsy, so he can't drive yet. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read my story.

After spending a night suspended mid-air, only thinly protected from chill breezes, my bones laugh and I'm ready to work.
