poor mortals are we

i cant let a july 24th go by without remembering my niece jessica.

that is her on the far right, perched next to my little emma (complete with her scotty dog sweatshirt and leggings)...all of us (shanna, aenon and melissa from left to right) in 3d glasses ready to watch a little michael jackson at disneyland.

she was called home on july 24th, 15 years ago.

and she was ready for that next new chapter in her life.

and yes, i say life, because she is very much alive...and well.

much better off than us poor mortals.

like grandma henrie used to say, she was ready to move on to the next adventure.

jessica was just more ready and more prepared than the rest of us.

and that is a good thing.
