Today is Thankful Thursday, and it’s Art Month so I give you Lael, done in Pop Art.  I really like how her eyes came out.

Lael is one of the people that I met through my roleplaying group online (star trek) and one of the first online friends of mine to become a real life friend.  She and I often refer to one another as Sis (as if I don’t have enough sisters) because we are twins… from different mothers.  Our interests tend to be the same and are often going through similar things in our lives at the same time.  We joke that one of us is the good twin and the other is the evil twin, of course we never agree on who is the evil twin.

Lael has an Amazing voice and I have few songs of hers in my MP3 collection, but not nearly as many as I’d like (hint hint, record more).  She has provided back up vocals for a couple of different projects.  She’s an amazing writer who ran a writing challenge group I was a part of years ago.  She loves Buffy and Star Trek (especially sexy nosed Bajorans) and Dr Who and many other geek things.  I have many memories of yaking on the phone with her for hours.  Having Lael at my wedding was very important to me and I was so grateful.  In the two trips she’s made to NY she was able to hang with my family and belong.  Without Lael I wouldn’t have had support through some pretty trying times in my life, I’m thankful to always have someone in my life that loves me how she loves me.  I will always love her and keep her close in my heart.
