Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

We met Leni for the first time a little over a month ago (here), and recently she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She is currently undergoing her first round of chemotherapy, and eventually will need a bone marrow transplant. Read more about her condition, root for her, and more at http://loveforleni.com.

Leni, her sister Mae, and her parents Jerry and Amanda are constantly in our thoughts.

A picnic in Prospect Park with The Westlake’s who deserted us for England.

August.

The gang. Isaac has a crazy English accent now, I shouldn’t have been surprised.

It was a quick visit, The Westlake’s already had plans, but I think they left extra quick when we ran out of drink.

Sticking around, catching fireflies again.

The other week, waiting in the lobby for the Savas sisters so we can walk home together.

Sappy. Still.
