Remembering Jenna

Today marks the one year anniversary of my friend Jenna's death. One year ago today Jenna died of cancer. In so many ways it seems like yesterday that we were hanging out at theatre joking around backstage about random things. This time of year we would be getting ready for Christmas carol.

My junior year of high school we had a big benefit around Christmas time and before one of the shows she talked about some of her memories of theatre that kept her going and fighting. I remember feeling so proud to be in a few of those but today all I can think of are the lost opportunities and times I chose something else over her.

In high school we always think there is more time and that we can get everything we want done. But in truth the time flies by. I feel like I appreciate the passage of time so much more now because you never know how much time you have with your friends.

Kids aren't supposed to die so early!!!!! My group of friends have in a way been adopted by Jenna's parents we call her mom "mom" and keep in contact as much as we can but it's never enough.

I know I've written about relay for life before so go back and read that post but it is something I will continue to do for a long time to come.

I know Jenna is in heaven smiling down at us but sometimes I miss her so much. Especially when listening to rascal flatts. I have regrets but I can't change anything and we can only celebrate the life she did live. God bless you Jenna!

Much love and hugs,
Chrissy
