One of my most recent memories of Billy is from Nantucket for Aunt Jo's party. I had to get up really early to catch a flight, and Billy had already been on a big bike ride. He was so full of exuberance and happy to be experiencing the open road, his brow wet with sweat, his eyes wide like those of a child exploring nature...this is how I will remember him.

Kristen is such a beautiful writer (and an all-round beautiful person). I have a vivid picture of Billy as he returned from his ride. It also reminds me of another bike ride on Nantucket. Billy and I rode bikes together to the grocery store. On the way back, I challenged him to a race. He beat me, but only by 1/2 a wheel. Then there is the story about Darlene and Billy riding bikes out to Madaket. . .
