Jenn, Dahlink

I am writing this because I just lost a good friend, Jenn Cakert. She's the one that got me started on this blog site! Her blog is: www.touristofeverything.blogspot.com. It is an awesome site. I miss her a lot. I keep wanting to write all these things and share them, but for the moment, I am still in a state of disbelief. Words swirl in my head faster than I can make sense of them (which isn't really new). I've been taking pictures and writing poems for a long time, but usually I'm too shy to share them, or too techinically incapable of processing them... I could always count on Jenn's comments on my photo blog, as she was often the only commentator/critic/fan, and that has kept my creative spirit alive for the past couple of months (I started this blog in... November?....) I can't even begin to say, now looking back in retrospect, how important her encouragemnet was.

Becasue she had such a zingy zest for life and such awesome style, I can only hope that in the future will bring her fame - she deserves it, and she would have accomplished that anyway, had she stayed with us longer. If anyone comes to this site, please know how much I miss Jenn Cakert. I hope to post more photos of my trip to Europe, as well as other things soon. She would have wanted me to...
