On my headstone rests a sleeping woman

Her head lying on a stack of books,

And her marble hands stained with ink from the pen

That dangles between her fingers.

All through my life I was writing,

Writing stories of fiction to the outside world

Knowing all along that they were only stories of a

Remarkable ( Read more... )

Meep... I didn't mean to put in all those typos.... thanks for noting them. It is a little too later for them, but I'll note these in my "common mistakes made while typing important documents" file ;-) The grades did end up well... in fact, the scary part is that the teacher said they were some of the best he'd seen in the entire course (scary thought...), but thank you for the input. *applause to twig ( ... )

Hey, since i don't see you online much and i don't have your e-mail on hand, i just thought i'd let you know....my mother died last night around 7:07pm. So now its just me and my step-dad. Becky is here and says hi. Richard is doing well. I didn't realize he was going to graduate this year from high school.

Jon--
Thank you for telling me. I wish I could be there for you, but please know that I will be praying for you and your family.

I never got the chance to know your mom, but through all our conversations, I felt like I knew her face and her mannerisms...I felt like she and I would have been close... in a strange way, I loved her even though I wasn't familiar with her. From the pictures I saw and from what you've told me, she was a beautiful woman, and she took great care of you, and you of her. Was her passing peaceful?

Are you okay?

well, from what i saw, (right in front of me), she died without any pain thanks to the masive amounts of pain killers. The strange thing about these pain killers though is that they make a person very weak. So weak in fact that mom was unable to talk, moans could only be heard from her as she was in need of something. We couldn't exactly tell what she wanted from us so we could do nothing. She lay on her pink couch in her pink Breast Cancer shirt and pink shorts. The creapy part was seeing her eyes and noticing she didn't blink for 5 plus minutes. The last movements she made was the rise and fall of her cheast as she took her last breaths. So its kind of hard to say if that was actually peaceful or painful. We couldn't tell how she was feeling so we will never know.

Hey, add boomer35

You shall find out.

broknkeeper April 27 2004, 10:23:18 UTC

hm... I bet you it's ray. Due to the fact that "I'm single. and I'm a guy" sort of thing. it sounds like you wrote it while you guys were in the library... and since ray's going to get the internet soon, he'll have time to update it.

am I right?

ex_speckle118 April 27 2004, 23:52:12 UTC

Yep. And you're right that I wrote it. We were in Ms. Hoff's. Anyway, fun there shall be!!

I didn't mention earlier, but I just found out a couple of days ago, that a couple days after grad, I'll be sent off to NY. I'l be with my bro for a couple of months. It'll be fun, but that's so soon! I'm a little freaked and psyched at the same time.
