I dedicate this to "Ma Geri" my cyber mom who passed away on August 14th 2002.

Wrote this for the English honors here at Loomis Chaffee.

Mother my dear mother,

I hope you always,

shelter me like this forever,

and never I see you gone,

you always be my strength.

She is my strength,

the woman behind my success,

she is my mother,

she is my friend,

I tell her all my stories and,

she enjoys and takes them as fun.

This was written when I lived in Ely, NV. My friend lived in MA. I would log onto his blog and I wouldn’t be so lonely.

Simple words explaining the worthiness of grandma. I wish I had her here with me now.
