TEACHER, TEACHER

She was our teacher.  “She brought diverse groups of people together,” Pam told us.

She taught us how to live, and how to reach for the good stuff of life.  She taught us how to play and enjoy life.  She shared her laughter; she shared her life with us all.  She taught us about work…and she loved her work.  She was young and didn’t want to die…she had more to teach, to show, to tell.  She passed away this morning around 0130 after a yearlong struggle.

• Himself:  Visited her yesterday morning.  Worked the new museum show “Rat Rods.”  He woke at three this morning and knew Poolie had died.
• Herself:  Got test results, more tests needed.  So glad we visited Poolie yesterday.
• Reading:  No new book to hand.
• Captain Poolie:  Died quietly, out of pain, with her niece for company.
• Gratitude’s:  So glad I could hit a couple of thrift stores with G yesterday morning.  Haven’t found the brownish Ragg sweater I am looking for yet…so will get to do a lot more shopping.  LOL  Poolie is laughing with us all now.
