It was a year ago that we finally got to meet in person. What a joy to finally get to hug you and your family!!! Ryan was every bit the doll he was in his pictures! You were too, yet you were so frail. I didn't want to acknowledge it though...I just wanted fun and happiness -no thoughts of disease.
Because of you, I got to meet so many of my long time on-line friends. So many, that if I start listing, I'd miss someone and hurt feelings. I don't want that. I don't want any other friends lost to me.
Because we lost you in December. To that ugly disease, cancer. It took a beautiful mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend way too soon. Way too soon for those of us left behind to even understand. Some days I still ask why.
I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you this weekend, wishing we were all back together on Jan's back deck.. laughing and sharing wine and stories!! But I know in our hearts, we are all together again with you...
Gone but not forgotten dear friend!

Now you have me crying. All weekend, I kept thinking about Annette and the blessing of last fall. Watching Jan's slide show tonight had me in tear also.....remembering.
Hugs to you dear friend. We are so blessed that our lives paths crossed with Annettes and the rest of the kindred souls from our online community.
Amen.
