Today would have been my best friend Jackie's 29th birthdayand even though a few years have gone by I still miss her so much it hurts.
This weekend I was thinking a lot about how she always did things a little bit ahead of me.
Like she graduated college a semester earlier, and got her first "real" job before I did. She
bought her first house before I did and got engaged and married before I did. And there was always something comforting about that because I could count on her for the good advice.
What to do, what not to do...
And I know that if Jackie were with us today I would be calling her for pregnancy advice now because she would have already had at least two little ones running around. She would have been such an amazing mom. It saddens me to to think she won't have that chance. Just another reason I want to try to be a good mom. Because she won't get the chance to be. I am forever grateful for all the years I was blessed to have Jackie as my friend but I can't help but wish I had more.
