Even today, it is still so hard for me to believe that my dear friend Jill is not going to call or show up at my door. I am so blessed to have been able to share the time that I did with her and believe me, she will always live on in my heart. I actually met Jill in English class but our close friendship grew during the summer when we were partnered together to share a car in driver's ed. It was hard for me to keep my eyes on the road because she was constantly making faces at me in the rearview mirror and rolling her eyes at Coach Collum, our teacher. I knew then, I had found my partner in crime! Of course, we differed in many ways too. It drove her insane that I was constantly changing the radio station from her soft music to my favored Motown and making up my own "words to the songs". She never understood that I just didn't bother to learn the correct lyrics, who cares?! I do believe the most frustrated she ever got with me was in college when she offered to tutor me in History. The problem was that I just did not like to read so I was not interested at all in reading all the additional books required. She could not understand why I didnt think it was as interesting as reading any novel. geesh. I was proud of my D even if she wasn't. Anyway, we bonded over many other things and spent countless hours giggling and crying together. Nothing would make her laugh as much as when I would spend the night with her and wake up with her cat on my chest hissing that I was there. I was terrified of that cat and she loved it. Of course, we both grew up, married, and moved away from each other but she was always close to my heart. I am so thankful that we were able to reconnect and spend alot of time together the last year that she was with us. I will never forget the fun we had on our girls weekend at her home in Hot Springs with Penny. The first night, we barely made it out of the house to eat for telling stories from our high school days. It was Jill's idea to bring out the hoola hoop and have a contest while blasting Chaka Khan on the stereo. Little did we know that 4 short weeks later, Penny and I would return to Hot Springs to say our final good bye. Words can not express how much I miss her and I will end this with the final words we spoke to each other...."Love ya girl!!"
