Bitter Sweet
Today is my birthday. Besides the fact that I'm getting OLD....it's supposed to be a fun day of celebrating.
I'm glad I did my celebrating this weekend, because I'm not up for celebrating today. Today I took Renee to the airport. She has moved out. Gone back to Winnipeg. I feel so empty! Who would have thought that a short little blonde could impact my life so incredibly? I've never lived in Ottawa without my friend down the hall! She was a roomie, a sister, a nanny to my girls (more like a big sister!) and a support when I needed a girl to gab with. She and I would take 2 hour trips to WalMart just to walk around aimlessly. We'd go thru every section...just looking, chatting, laughing. (And yes...sometimes at 11pm at night!)
Who will I watch America's Next Top Model with? Who will I run with? Who will tell me that I can go 10 more minutes....and to "suck it up, princess!" when I'm being unreasonable. Who will eat pineapple with me? Who will share her watermelon with me?
Yup. My little friend is gone. Now it's just us. Jason, me and our girls. No more "Winnipeg connection". We're on our own.
Yikes.
I miss her already....and I hate that her room is empty. It makes me ache.

it just won't be the same without her. but all the you gave her and all that she has given you, will stay with you both forever
And?
And? How was your birthday? What have you done that day, did you get any presents, if so... what did you get?
I hope that you could 'forget' a little about the leaving of Renee? (of course not!!!!) I just hope that you were having a bit a great birthday Yvonne with Anneka and Aila and Jason.
I have been thinking about you, I always do, I'll never forget you:) You look great, did you know about that? YOU could be the NEXT TOP model!
