I've always been a believer in the saying "time heals all wounds"  Then why do I miss her more and more with each passing day?  Thursday is her birthday.  Sweet 16.  We should be buying a car and planning a huge party.  Instead, I'll spend my day eating cake at her grave site.  Not fair.

Also, I have officially withdrawn from the Relay.  I'm so sorry to all of our faithful followers.  I just don't have the strength this year.  I struggle with getting out of bed some days.  I don't think that I can stand the emotional draw of the event.  Maybe next year.  I know Relay is important to Sydney.  I just can't do it.  I'm sorry.

One day at a time.....
Vanessa
