I didn't know what to write here. I still don't but I could not let today go by without saying something - without remembering. Gina, the wise woman that she is, told me that noone is ever truly gone so long as we remember them, so long as we keep their spirit alive within us. I believe that. The best way I can think of to honor her is to share those memories with you. What I would ask is that you respond here (comments are screened) and leave an email address where I can send you a memory that I have of you and Denneal or a story she told me about you. I will keep these private unless you say so otherwise, then I will unscreen the comment and reply here as well. If you wish to leave a story or two for all to see, I would appreciate those too.
Heres a memory for you all:
We took a trip to Florida. When we landed, we had to get a rental car. She waited outside with the luggage while I paid for the car and got the keys and so forth. While I was inside, I upgraded from a typical car to a Mustang convertible. I drove up with the top down and she was shocked and elated. We took the 1.5 hour drive down to Melbourne and by the time we got there - we were >< this close to having sunburn already. That was the last I got to drive the convertible - she took the keys. LOL!
Never give up a chance to tell those you love that you love them.
