For Sugar

This is for you, Sugar my friend

My special thanks go to Sugar.  I asked if she would kindly make a new graphic for me.  I know Sugar suffers with her health and has been under the weather recently so I told her I perfectly understood if she felt unable to take it on.

I told her the colours I would like, the wording I required and also the little extras.

A very short time later Sugar wrote to me sending me the graphic she had made.  Just perfect.  Exactly as I had imagined it. 

It is now sitting proudly on my sidebar.

As I said in a previous entry, I realise I am lucky and hope that luck will continue.  Very brave and inspiring friends of ours were not so lucky and I will never forget them.  Several of them uplifted me, helped me, gave me courage and I know they inspired many others.

They were all so very special in their own way and each one contributed to our great community, some a little and some a very great deal.  Many showed such humour, such determination, nothing seemed to get them down.  I know that so many of us still miss them.

I know we have the J-Land Angels site and memorial quilts have been made in their honour but I wanted something a little different.

I could have asked for the wording "Jeannette Remembers" but they belonged to all of us, they were friends to so many, it was far more appropriate to use J-Land.

So, once again, Sugar - thank you so very much.  I am very grateful. I know they would be as well and that those named will be smiling on you today.

If anyone would like this tribute graphic to add to their journal I will gladly send it to you or please snag and let me know you have.  Thank you.
