While many of you may have been celebrating Mother’s Day with a fancy brunch, I celebrated Mother’s Day in my garage and along side Rt. 9D in Cold Spring.
Saturday night, my Mom and Dad went to Cold Spring, and brought home the beautiful white cross that Jen’s friends made for her and put along the side of the road at the scene of her accident. The cross was leading pretty bad, and the wood was starting to fall apart in spots. My parents brought it home, and picked up supplies to reinforce the wood, so that it would keep its shape. Saturday night, I carefully went over all the writing to make sure the:
JENNIFER DEVITO RIP NIFFIE
was bold and no longer fading away.

Last night I made myself something for dinner that I haven’t made since Jen passed away. I must have made it for myself one night for dinner, and Nif had some, and really enjoyed it. Going forward, whenever we were on our own for dinner, she would ask me to make it, and I always did. After she passed away, I couldn’t really bring myself to make it, but last night I did (and it was quite tasty).

I’m at work, and the guys in the next room are playing music.
RESPECT just came on, and I am quietly listening in, picturing Jen and the rest of the Starlites twirling away.

I am currently sitting on the 10:50am train to Croton Harmon and was just looking out the window. I knew we were approaching Cold Spring but I didn’t think I would be able to see Jen’s cross from the train. I knew it was hers. There was the huge cross and the white metal one.
Now I’m trying not to cry. I wasn’t ready to see it.
Miss you Jen.
“Is that you sister?”

Yesterday, one of the sweetest things happened at work. One of my co-workers came into my office to ask a question about a project we are all working on.
Allow me to set the stage; I have a bookcase with various books and reference material on it, and on top of it are a few personal things:
- Picture of Jennifer and Me in my sister frame
- Picture of the Lobster and myself
- My Robot Necklace
