Monday – 21 September 2009
Yes, it’s Monday.
Start of a new week.
The official last day of summer.

But, it’s not “just Monday.” It’s the 21st of September. Today would have been Jess’ 35th birthday.

It’s been four months since she passed away. Getting used to the fact that one of my best friends is no longer just a phone call away or won’t be coming out to a movie or coffee or dinner has been “a bit” of an adjustment.

I got to spend part of Saturday morning and afternoon with her parents and one of her sisters.  I’m glad that they’re part of my extended family, as you couldn’t ask for nicer people to spend time with.

As I’ve said before, there are many things that I could say about Jess. Rather than leave something out, I’ll summarize by saying that she was a good person to know, a great friend and that she’s sorely missed.

Happy Birthday.
