Have to Keep the Magic

My heart is sad. My dear friend Jennifer is gone. She died suddenly on Monday morning. Jennifer and I were going to do the 2 Kingdoms in one day trip I talked about below. We were to meet up with others at Disneyland if they didn't or couldn't come to both. Jennifer had a great laugh. She loved Disney more than anyone I have met. She loved her two children so much. She had a kind heart and a generous soul.

Here is the biggest part... Jen and I have never met. We tried so many times.. but things happened that didn't work out for her. She was suppose to be with me in September 2008, the weekend after I took my boards. Another friend Kip was there, and we got a pink balloon and carried that around one day, calling it Jen. When I got home, I took the balloon and let the air out (okay not air) but regardless... I mailed it to her. She loved it. I feel like we have known each other for longer than the couple years. That is the power the internet can have. Bring you close to someone who is miles and miles away.

I plan to keep this trip. I hope other friends will join in. I hope someone else will come along too. Jen had said the more the merrier! I promise to keep the Magic in my life.


**8/13/2009: I am going to WDW on Saturday. I am going to meet up with a couple friends of Jen's and mine. We will celebrate her life (one of many trips for that).
