Jeanette died nine years ago this week. It is amazing to me that it has been that long. I still miss talking to her and sharing the adventures of the Heinisch children with her. She would have so enjoyed being a part of Cameron's graduation celebration. It makes me feel sad that she wasn't here to see all of her grandchildren start their adult life. I know that she would have loved to hear about Meg's wedding plans. She would have been wonderful at helping with centerpieces or giving suggestions for flowers. Cal and Brett have had so many adventures this year - both traveling out of the country. Jeanette would have listened enthusiastically to them talk about their trips along with Brett's election campaign news and Cal's life in Chicago.
I love watching old videos of Jeanette, listening to her voice, remembering all of her positivity, wishing she was still here. It wasn't meant to be, however. God had a different plan than the one that we had for her. We will just have to be happy with the memories of her and try to live with as much enthusiasm for life as she did. It is the best way to honor her and the love that she had for her family.
