Today is Jenni's birthday. It will always be her birthday, no matter how many years go by since she passed away, and we will always try to let balloons go sailing up in the air for her on this day. Today she would have been 26.

No matter how much it hurts sometimes, even now, that she is not here with us every day, at the same time we know she is always with us, and always will be. Of course we would have given anything to have been able to give Jenni a normal, happy life but we will always be grateful that we had her in our lives at all - it seems trite to say it, but we do feel genuinely blessed. Mind you, I can't help wondering what the last 26 years would have been like, and where we would all be now, if if things had been that way.
