thinking of Marnie

I'm sitting here at my kitchen table, working on our invitations for our July wedding. As I make my way down our guestlist, I can't help noticing that one name is missing from this list. Today, I'm having a hard time believing that it's been a year since Marnie left this world. And the void that she left in our hearts is still there. and I suspect will always be there. Life goes on - friends having babies, getting married, growing older. and i wish Marnie could be here to help us celebrate life. But I know that she is smiling down on us and her spirit will be with us on the day Dave and I say our vows. Shiway

Remembering after a year....
