strange

I have been thinking a lot about Jenna lately. I imagine it mostly has to do with the fact that Mykenzie just spent the night with her kids (and Mark and Kara) and while we were out there dropping them off Barbara and I stopped and visited Jenna's grave and I made a fall flower arrangement that we put on it. Fall was her favorite time of year and she always got so excited about all the upcoming fall festivities.

In my english class at school I have to write a narrative essay, so a story with a point. We had no notice and had to start writing in class on Monday and so I started to write about Jenna's story and was recounting the day she found out she had leukemia.... I was reading over what I had written so far in class tonight and realized that I should probably fill in my blank I left in the opening line of my essay....."I got the phone call that I had been dreading on ________. " I couldn't recall the exact date, so I came here to my trusty blog to find out. You want to know the date that it was.... September 15, three years ago to the day that she found out that she had cancer. Wow. So yeah, I had to write about it and share it with someone. I thought it was strange that I picked the exact day that it happened to look up the date. I bet I don't forget it again.
