R.I.P. Gerri Nutting December 17, 2004

I can't be there for her funeral which was today and I can't be there for her until June because I might "fuck up me and Richard's plans of moving to Seattle." So this is a eulogy and a bit of a closure...

At first Gerri was just another babysitter to me, no different from the last one I had. I didn't like her because she was old and smelled funny...at first. I played pranks on her a few times. Until I grew out of the rebellion and grown to like her because she always made sure my brothers and I had enough to eat or were satisfied, or weren't bored. She was always there for me. When I visited everyone during this past summer, she told me that if I ever needed anything she will be there. When I left to catch the Shuttle Express she made sure it came and she was the last person I said goodbye to. I hugged her, knowing I won't see her for awhile, in this case again. She was like a grandmother to me, since one of my grandmothers passed away when I was no older than 1 years old. I will miss Gerri and people come and go and I am glad I had closure with her. I have a reason to go back to Edmonds, I didn't before. I love you Gerri...*muah*
