Chicago was a great time. It was incredible to have that many of my closest friends together for an entire weekend. I had bracelets made for everyone to wear, "Remember Pat & Jerome, always and forever". I also put together a CD mix to give in honor of your remembrance. There were songs such as, I will remember you by Sarah McLaughlin, So Small by Carrie Underwood, Sweet Melissa by the Allman Brothers and several others that were either yours or my favorite songs or just songs that made me think of you and friendship.
We danced. sipped champagne. ate some great meals. did a little shopping on Michigan Ave. and laughed a lot.........these girls are one of a kind!
The loneliness I feel will probably never fully go away, but knowing that I have so many friends that would be here in a heartbeat for me, is a feeling unexplainable. Not everyone is blessed with wonderful parents AND wonderful friends. But I was. 
Your love for life continues on....

I had a terrific time Mel. You look unbelievable, and are such an inspiration to everyone that is lucky enough to be around you. I hope that your weekend is beautiful; like you continue to say, you have a lot to be thankful for, but I can't describe how much pain I feel for you. Keep your head up and keep posting, I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts and am envious of your strength. I also admire your accomplishments and continue to be so proud of all that you have achieved at such a young age! I know your mom and dad are so happy that you live such an amazing life. Keep going Mel, love you, lo
