cHeErS!

    This all started back at my staff Christmas party in '08, just a few months after Aaron's accident had happened. This was during the time where Aaron was not able to travel outside of his rehab facility. I reluctantly went, although I really wanted to go, I knew it wouldn't be the same without Aaron.

   I'm not sure exactly how it happened, if I remember right, I was drinking a beer before dinner and it was sitting on the table (almost empty) in front of me. That's about the time when my co-worker's husband, Jerry, came up to me with a smile on his face and a fresh cold beer in his hand! 

    Little did I know, that this was only the beginning of him taking care of me at our many social gatherings. From that night on, Jerry always made sure I was taken care of...with a smile and a cold drink! 

   Last week we went out for one last drink before we all started our summer vacation and went our separate ways. I had gotten there late and had ordered a water. I was chatting with people on my side of the table, not even paying attention, when I turned around here came Jerry with a smile on his face and a cold drink in hand! 

   It's truly the little things that make this journey just a little bit easier...who knew how much a smile and a cold drink could make my day over and over and over again?! Thanks Jerry and Dee for always being so sweet and putting a smile on my face!
