A Couple of Add-Ons

I got bored and started messing around with blogspot. I have added a counter at the bottom of the page. Mainly for my own curiosity. I always wonder how often people come here to see if any new posts have been put up. The second is the slideshow on the left. I unfortunately don't have a whole lot of pics of Jeff, but I put up the few I did. We can always add to it or change them all together.

With a year gone by, there isn't a day I don't think of Jeff. The night Jeff passed and I received the phone call at 1AM to come to the hospital, I stood in the driveway staring up at the stars for what seemed like an eternity. Ever since, every time I look up at the stars I think of him and wonder what should have been.

Till next time,

This Past Year

Props to you, Michelle. You know I am proud of you. It is so easy to get stuck in ambivalence. However, losing someone close to our hearts makes us realize that we don't have forever to make things better for ourselves, we need to make our "now" everything it can be, not put all of our hopes into tomorrows we may not even have. This is one of the gifts we get from this pain.
Having both parents being diagnosed with cancer this past year since Jeff's passing was pretty tough. But then losing Dad after he had made it through chemo and radiation to complete remission really blindsided me. You wouldn't think that I could take days, months or years for granted with my career as an oncology nurse .... but somehow it just happens.
I love you all. I thank each of you that prayed for my family and me this year. I couldn't have done it without you "old school" friends that really stepped up to the plate.
Thanks again, Jeff, for managing to get all of us back together again. Still wish you could have been there. You'd have really dug the memorial.
We all need to get together again before we have to do it for another huge loss in our hearts. I am game for where/whenever.

Love,
Kerri Z
