John Paul and my Mom and I did so much together; we really enjoyed each others company and would always find time to have weekly lunches (at our favorite vegetarian pizza place) go on walks with the puppy, and spend holidays and birthdays at the coast. She loved JP like a son and called me her 'little daughter' and him her 'little son', she called him that on her birthday when we went up to the rhododendron park. We went on a lot of birthday road trips over the years, it was a tradition to spend the day having an adventure together.
We had many many good times together and I know that she's still with us on our daily adventures and will be walking beside us on our wedding day. Having someone who is that special in the first place is a real blessing, as is knowing how much of a blessing they are and knowing to tell them that. This whole experience, growing and learning how you'd like to treat everyone else who you care about is another blessing.
