A Few Thoughts for My Friend Janny-Pat

Dammit Janet, I love you.

It's an old movie line, but also a truth.

I love you Janny-Pat. Now, and before, and always.

I met you during the embers of my youth. I wasn't fully formed, but I was excited and excitable and you pointed me in the right direction.

Every memory I have of our time together is a stepping stone. I built upon your intelligence and kindness and love each year.

I owe you a debt that cannot be repaid. I owe you much of where I am today.

That sounds cliche, or tired or an overabundance of praise.

It is not.

You took me from childish things to adult understanding. You let me know what the world was and could be. I can never thank you enough.

You are gone from my present, but rooted in my forever.

I love you Janny-Pat.

I always will
