Way to go! I've hugged at Hug Point! It was fun. Also, I go crazy on the 2nd day that Jake is gone, so you're doing pretty good. This was fun to read. Way to go.

Jeri, I loved to read this!! I had a sadness thinking about your birthday parties where no one came. I just never had parties, because I was so terrified that would happen (and it would have...I had no friends in elementary school/early junior high). I would come to any party you throw, because I so enjoy your company!!
