| We met in high school, junior year,
What were we ...16, 17? I transferred in from the public school...a bit of a rebel. You, curious and caring. Sharing your longtime friends from Mt.Greenwood. There at that lunch table ~ a special bond, A friendship between you, and Teri, and I, That continued for over 25 years. ( As I know many others can claim. ) You were special, so artistic, so joyful! Always able to laugh at yourself. You enjoyed life. And not just pretty on the outside, You were pretty where it really counts ~ on the inside. But you touched so many with that beautiful smile. Especially a man named Carroll. Oh, how your life blossomed! What a great team you made. The true love of your life. We would talk and say how lucky we were to have such great husbands. And you made beautiful children! I think that is what I admired about you most. What a great mother you were. So, nuturing, patient, giving. It was so natural to you. You and Carroll tended to every special need ~ large or small. And it showed, Your kids are great! Fun to be around. They share your love of life, enjoying things big and small. I could call you ~ ask 'kid' questions. You always had ideas and suggestions. You always made me feel I was okay, my kids normal, Because you had been there, too. We shared good moments and bad ones, And you never judged. I could be myself around you. That was the best part. I felt strong around you ~ confident ~ funny. You knew me at my worst moments, and at my best. So many memories flood my head. So many good ones ~ It hurts right now. I've learned so much from you, and now from this. How will we go on? You have such a good family. We will bond together, and somehow, slowly, continue on. We were all so lucky to have you touch us. It seems so short in time ~ Not long enough. You touch me still...from a different place. Thank you so much. I love you, Peg, I will not forget~ |
