Aww, couldn't sleep, so here I am at 3 am...
I finally decided to get out of bed. Might as well write down my latest ideas for another children's book, which have been rattling around in my brain. Went to open my word file to jot down some notes, so I wouldn't forget when I actually set pen to paper (er, well, fingers to keypad)! That's when I saw a flash from my Windows 10 screen, reminding me that today would have been Jim Hennessey's birthday. Sigh!
I miss that man and his great sense of humor. He was always sending me pictures of himself and making me laugh. He'd throw in a favorite song and include a few lines of lyrics. He loved the Beatles. He had very electric taste in music - sometimes it would be an Irish tune or he'd be singing Imagine by John Lennon. He was one of a kind and I never knew what to expect from him.
So Jim, you were probably the one to wake me up this morning, and I forgive you! 'They say it's your birthday, it's my birthday too, ya...'
Here's to ya buddy! Love and miss ya, Mare
