      From justyouandme April 30

      Oh, jenx, my prayers will be with you tomorrow. It's so hard to believe that it is one year and 20 days today for me. I can't believe it. Yes, people say we are coping so well, but they don't know the tears we shed in private. Some people have told me the second year is harder. Oh dear! But, we must go on, musn't we. I wish I could have had some sort of celebration on our first year with friends, but I had to work that day. So the next day I went alone to the park where I bought Sherman's tree and saw his plaque. That was hard, but I sat at a picnic table with my lunch and watced the ducks and geese in the water and talked to Sherman. It really was peaceful there, but I like your idea better. Love and hugs, Enid
