SHE ASKED ME IF SHE WAS STILL PRETTY

It was one of  her good days in 2008.  She bought herself this wig.  Put it on and applied some make up.  She looked at herself in the mirror and said to me, "Mama, do I still look pretty?" I hugged her and said to her that she always looked beautiful because she was also beautiful inside.  She smiled and walked into the kitchen of her house and began to make some coffee.  I went over and told her to sit down and rest and that I would make the coffee. 
We drank our coffee with hazelnut creamer and one spoonful of sugar.  Jeannette and I had so many things in common.  She and I enjoyed watching the same movies.  I remember when that movie called, "Something about Mary." came out.  She and I went to see it and laughed so much.  Even after the movie was over and we were heading home we would think of certain scenes in the movie and begin to laugh so much all over again.  Then when Titanic movie came out we went to see that one too.  We bought the movie together.  Jeannette was so much fun to hang out with.  Always full of laughter.  The kind of laughs that make you cry from laughing.  Oh, and when she hung out with her sister, Diana it was beyond fun.  Everyone in the family loved her so much.  I miss her so much and wish she was right here with me and laughing again.  I know that one day I will see my baby.  That is the day I will be truly happy. 

I miss my Nettle Poodle.
