"'Kimmie, he sounds so cute!' Mandy squealed.
     'I know. They called him Joe.'
      'Joey-Joe , that's what else they called him. That's cuter than plain old Joe.'
     'You're right, Mandy. We'll have to marry him. We can share.'
    'Share?' Mandy's big brown eyes got bigger. 'Kimmie, you won't share your boys with me. I'm Wonder Woman, but you still won't share Kevin.'
    'Forget it, Mandy.' I stuck out my tongue. No way was I giving up my six-year-old husband-to-be, even if my favorite cousin loved him, too. 'Kevin is my Superman. I didn't share him with Ally, and I'm not sharing him with you either, Amanda.'
     'Wonder Woman is Superman's girlfriend,' Mandy pointed out.
     'Tough cookies. Not anymore, she isn't. Now, I am.'
     'You're right, Supergirl.'
      'I know I am,' I said.
     'He loves you, Kimmie. You marry Kevin. You just remember to share our Joey-Joe.'
     'Mandy, you're the only girl I'd share my Joey-Joe with. 'Popsicle' is my favorite song, too, you know.'
     We giggled and sang, 'You're my popsicle. From the very first time I met you, girl, you captured me...' Then we squealed together. 'He's so cute!'
    In 1986, I loved Mandy dearly, but even I could have never imagined how much I'd miss my cousin when she was gone. I so miss the days when I couldn't understand the concept and finality of death." Kim Froberg, The Silence In The Sunshine.

I will always love you, Wonder Woman. You will not be forgotten.
     Love Always,
     Your fellow Joe-freak-of-a-cousin,
     Supergirl
P.S. Family-- I know you all are full of it about this issue, and I assure you, I WILL find out what REALLY happened to Mandy. I won't rest until I know the truth, and once I find it, I'll print it, I PROMISE. And you all thought you could make me forget, did you?... New memories come back everyday.
