It's almost been a year since you left us Jere, sometimes it seems like just yesterday and I hurt so bad and then other times I can pretend you are in California and none of this ever happened, but I know better. I know you are at peace, and sometimes every once in a while I am at peace too. I know time will take the "rawness" of this away but coming up on this 1st anniversary of your death it is all coming back like a tornado and I don't want to relive it but I can't stop it. We will be together, we will remember you, we will laugh, we will cry, we will miss you, and you will be with us again. Love mom
