Remembering

Yea, I know, I haven't written in forever. Been a little hesitant to. So much going on, but also so much I don't really want 'out there'. But today I just wanted to remember.

42 years ago yesterday, on Friday the 13th, my mom & grandma were hit by a drunk driver. Grandma died instantly. Mom died 42 years ago today. The drunk driver got a 2 week suspension on her license. Thankfully the laws have gotten much tougher over the years. There's not much to say, I just thought I'd put a remembrance out there. Even after 42 years I still miss her, although I don't remember much about her. But I do know that that day has affected every aspect of my life every day since then. I've been told I'm a lot like her. I guess that helps me know who she was. And I'd like to think we'd be pretty good friends as adults. God has a plan - He was in control that day and He's still in control today. Of that I'm certain. And thankful.

So, here's remembering you, Mom.

Love,

Julie
