Journal entry by Jennifer Mastor

Good day to you all.

Today marks the 100 days since my new birthday, June 9, 2023. This will also be my last journal entry. My journey has been one that I never thought I would have to take. But like most journeys, you never know what will happen until it does. As the Grateful Dead say, “What a long, strange trip its been.” I know this is not the end, in fact, it is more like the beginning of a new journey for me. While I still must watch and be careful what I do, I am now facing this journey alone, and not with the partner that was supposed to be by my side. Yes, my amazing family and friends are and will still be by my side, but James will have to settle from above. This past weekend was the first time I spent it alone in the last 3 years. I did pretty good too if I say so myself. I kept myself busy, got a few things that needed to be accomplished and my girlfriends and I went to lunch and did a movie. I will have to learn, all over, once again, that my life will continue, even though I don’t have a partner. Who knows, may-be one day I will have a new one, but for now, it is me, all me, and I have to learn this all over again.

So, I may be cancer free, (fuck yeah), but my new journey starts all over. What it will bring, who knows, it’s a journey. So, thank you all who have contributed their “get well,” “feel better,” cards, 59, just to let you know, and for all the gift cards and stuffed animals. I never knew I was this loved until now. which means you are all loved right back from me😊.

Here’s to my 100 days, may it be the start of something spectacular!!

With friendship, love and so many thank-you ’s
