Jeannette has left a mark on this earth. She left us with so many memories of her. I remember when she was 16 years of age and wanted to spend her birthday in Disneyland. I don't know how I did it but I managed to take her there along with her sister and brother. We all enjoyed staying in a plush motel and eating breakfast out at Big Boy's. I just remember all the laughter that my kids had all during the day. Then I remember her last birthday in 2008. It was cold and foggy and so we couldn't go down to see her but we all sent her cards and gifts. I called her that day and she said she was glad we didn't go because there were lots of accidents on the grapevine heading to Los Angeles and she had feared we would get hurt. That is the way Jeannette was. She always worried about us. She was amazing and loving and on this special day I am wearing her sweater, drinking out of her mug, having all her pictures in front of me, wearing her pink slippers as I walk around my house with a heavy heart listening to her Celine Dion songs that she loved. Later today I am heading to Baskin Robbins and having a mint chip ice-cream cone that was her favorite. Then over to her sister's house for a good home cooked meal she is preparing on this day. We will all be there singing to her "Happy Birthday and eating her favorite cake.
