It was a whirlwind of a day. Jackson wasn’t feeling great, and I can really tell in the pictures of him. I had messages of love all day, sweet and thoughtful gifts, and good food. I guess this getting older business isn’t too bad. 😉 It was a bittersweet day for me, though, not having my brother here. I thought of him often, and even, for one split second, thought I saw him. For the briefest moment I thought he had come to lunch to surprise me, but then reality set in. 

Thank you to everyone who called, texted, and showed up for me today. It meant so much.
