For Deb

Dear Deb,

It has been one year since the world lost you. I still go back and read your blog when I need motivation. I still chuckle at the jokes. I still cry when I read about all that you and your family went through.

One year ago, I promised to lose weight and join the marrow donor program in your memory. As usual, I took forever to start. I’m finally on my way though, and once I hit 247 pounds, I’m signing up. That is one promise that I plan to keep.

I miss you.

Love,
Jess
