30

April 18, 2010 would have been John's 30th birthday. So hard to believe!

Mary organized a get-together for all of us, so as soon as we got back into town from the cabin, we headed up to Dave & Lex's for a family dinner. I'm so glad she pulled this together.

Sometimes it's hard to let my mind "go there" and really think about John and his life, where he would be, what he would be doing, the things he's missing out on, the things I wish I could tell him, etc.

But then I realize - he is here - he know what we're doing - he isn't missing out on anything. I miss him. I treasure these opportunities to talk about him and reminisce.

Happy Birthday John!
