Ok so I look horrible in this picture and yep, new years resolution is to loose weight... but to see one of my oldest friends was definitely a treat. This is Marianne. I met her in the eighth grade, and we never lost touch. She moved to Arizona a very long time ago, and this is the first time I got to see her in 15 years. We both cried. My vacation was amazing... anyone who wants pictures, leave me a comment with your email address and I'll shoot ya a link to the online album. When I had to leave on Saturday she hugged me and cried again. We made a promise that it wont be another 15 years before I see her again, and I know she'll hold me to that. Doesnt matter how far away from someone you are, they are always near as long as you carry them in your heart.

Thanks Mair...

For all of those...

For those of you who cannot make it to the cemetary... I put purple flowers and cleaned up Cindy's site as best as I could as well as a little holiday festiveness.  

I stayed a while, and updated her on everything going on.  I know she can hear me even when I am not there.  Its starting to get colder outside... and the holidays are approaching.  I hope everyone... while shopping for their family and friends, remembers to be thankful for what they have and what they have had in their lives.  Always remember to tell the people in your life that you love them.  Its a wonderful thing to be on the receiving end of that.

November 13, 2008

Can you believe that November 13th, 2008 is four years that Cindy is gone. Please take a moment to light a candle and have a moment of silence for her on this day. Remember her smile and her laugh... her wit and her honesty. This time is different for me, I am now the age Cindy was when she passed away... 36. So tomorrow will be the last day she was alive at this age... and I will surpass her after 2:30am tonight.

Please let everyone remember that she would want us to smile and remember her in good times. Please feel free to comment if you read this... I dont get much feedback anymore and I'd love to know that someone is reading this aside from just me.

As someone said to me recently... "smile, there is always someone out there that thinks of you"

She is missed today as much as she was missed the day she left. I hope that Ashley is keeping her company and I hope that she is getting all the kisses and snuggles I desperately miss. Also Thanks to my mom to find cindy's bathrobe, unwashed... on my birthday I got to breathe my Cindy in for a moment and cry... I so missed that.

Bless all that read this... and thank you for your moment of silence tomorrow.

always,
Sherry

Happy Birthday Cin...

Can you believe today you would have been 40 years old? I wish you were here, I think we would have thrown you a surprise party today... it would have been a perfect day for it too. Melissa is nearly 6 years old, she's so smart. I am sure you are so proud of her... if she ever asks me what your greatest accomplishment is, I am going to tell her that it is her. Happy birthday Sis... I love you.
