17 years and I can still hear her voice.

     Stacy Lynn Williams Jones - it is the anniversary of your passing today and I'd like to toast a glass of very fine wine to you my friend, and I remind myself of the ways that I miss you still each and every day.  Some of the times and reasons that I miss you are:

1. When I eat popcorn.
2. I hope that by this time in our lives you would have stopped smoking, but whenever anyone lights up a cigarette - I smile.  (I know I shouldn't, but I do)
3. When Flower Festival time rolls around.
4. When someone announces that they are pregnant.
5. When I taste a really nice wine in a really clean glass.....
6. When I see that Korey and Kristin have grown into such wonderful people and I am so happy that I am allowed to continue to share in their lives.  It seems like so very long ago.....
7. When the wind blows.
8. When I find a gray hair.
9. When I watch redecorating shows or cooking shows on TV.
10. When I see our mothers together - it was suppose to be that way for us.

It has been 17 years - they would have been different years for me I believe.  There is a hole in my heart that has never been filled, I miss you my friend.

  You weren't even around when BFF was coined but, you are mine.
