Today would have been Jennifer’s 50th birthday.
I believe she would have embraced her 50’s the
same way she embraced each year – with gusto.
Jennifer lived life wonderfully and never regretted anything as far as I know. Each day taught her something new and she
would take that lesson and apply it. I
don’t remember a time when she didn’t have a smile on her face and a laugh
ready to go.
I was lucky. I was
able to say goodbye to Jen before she passed away. We spoke on the phone and she told me she
would be my guardian angel. She had
applied for the job and had gotten it.
When I asked her if that would be her on my right shoulder telling me to
be cautious or careful, she replied with “No!
I’m gonna be the one on your left telling you to get off your ass and do
it!”
Cancer patients don’t have time for regret. They live in the moment cherishing each
second they are given. We can learn a
lot from them….just like I learned from Jennifer.
Happy Birthday Jennifer .
You may be gone but you certainly aren’t forgotten!
