Role models past

I had a friend

Her name was Joan

I was dating her son

I got bit by a dog

He took me to Joan

She scrubbed the shit out of my leg with iodine

I still have the scar

And I think of her :-)


 I watched her make quite a change when I knew her

I was part of her life when she suffered great loss
I watched her make a beautiful transition

Because of her strength

She rose above her circumstances and got on with her life

Happy

With a new love and a new life

She was a role model

She was also my mother in law for about...mmmm....half a minute.

But I loved her

She made an impression on me

And it was all good

Rest in peace Joan  :-)

  3. I never saw this until today. Must have missed it. Very sweet, thanks! I totally remember the digg incident. Now I live very close to where that occurred. Life is crazy. Thinking of mom today.
