just remembering the times that we spent. You were the first to introduce me to mayo on toast with pepper-wierd huh. I thought so to until I tried a bite. Not bad. How about cheese wiz on a dill pickle thats another one of those wacky combos that we did together...yum! I really wish that we could have more fun times like these. Eternity is not that far away. Maybe we can meet up in heaven and share some more wacky adventures:) love you!

I am thankful that this day in age photographs are available to recall memories. Looking through our photo albumns I see a happy beautiful little girl that gleamed, a smile that was contagous. Being so close in age we shared a lot of time together in our younger years, that is when our parents made it possible for us to visit one another. As we grew older we both had our own lives and obligations, jobs and so on. I still can't help to regret the time unspent and not trying to help one another understand and fight through our struggles. But how could I possibly, when I don't have the answers and am just gaining a better understanding myself. Life is defineatly not an easy road, easier for some than others I imagine, but overall not easy. It is so hard to think of any life ended at such a young age, but it really hits you when it is someone you know and love. I hope that deep down she knew that she was loved, it breaks my heart to think otherwise. I hope that this will be a life lesson for all that knew Jennifer. I really wish that we had the power to turn back time......
