Happy Birthday Jennifer!

Jennifer is still a part of my life in small and simple ways:
1. I am so glad that I still hear from Jeff and Aidan occasionally. I am happy that Aidan is growing up so well and that Jeff is such a great father. Jennifer knew that if anything happened to her that Aidan would be well cared for.
2. I still keep Jennifer's phone number in my phone. On occasion I still text her. Even though I don't get a text back I still hear her voice in my head giving me advise or comfort.
3. I have two photos of Jennifer in my bedroom and one of her in our living room. One of the photos in my bedroom is one she sent me in January 1996. It is the way I most remember her- when she was healthy and had long auburn hair and a big smile. The other photo is from the last time I visited her when she was alive. That remains a happy memory of our visit together.
4. I have a card from Jennifer on my bulletin board. All I have to do is read it to remember her love. It is always a treat to come across letters and cards from her that I saved for years from most holidays.

When all is said and done - it is the small and simple things that have the most meaning in our lives. Although I wish Jennifer were still here, I know that Jennifer and I are still connected and we will see each other again. Happy Birthday Jennifer!
