Beautiful Jennie

This morning is cold and crisp. Beautiful early morning sunshine. In my mind’s eye, I can see Jennie running down the hill and along the water, and she would turn and wave as she ran by. The last time I saw her run was on June 23, 2021 at 6:42 a.m. She ran by pushing Ivy in her run stroller, with Piper running out in front, her lead around Jennie’s waist. She was young, strong, capable. She was doing all she could, trying to be happy with her marriage and her life falling apart. She was my beautiful girl. I will carry her in my heart everyday of my life.

Two Years Ago

Jennie, I am sorry everyday that I didn’t understand. What you were living with was unbearable. We have all come to understand how things were, and see first hand just how destabilizing it would have been. It’s all too late.  I’m with you in these days while you were still here to kiss and hold, and before you gave everything you had. There are 7 strangers who will also be remembering you in a deep and profound way. Their lives tied to our tragedy, If I had seen what was happening to you, would you still be here?

He’ll be thinking of you. He’s a good person. Loving. To me he acts polite at best. Our special bond has been broken.
