It was early morning in Thousand Oaks, California on that day in June of 2008. She was determined to answer all her e-mails that she received from her friends near and far. I was there with her and remember telling her that I would get on her PC and do it for her. Her right wrist was hurting so much that morning. She was on medication for pain but it didn't really take all the pain away. She told me, "No, Ma. I want to do it myself cause it will mean more to people that it was me that answered them back." She had a serious look on her face and I doubt that I could make her change her mind. I knew she was determined to do it so I just went into the kitchen and proceeded to make her some cream of wheat and fresh coffee.
Today, I too sit in front of my PC and in my PJ's, drinking coffee and writing about my precious daughter that I miss so much. Just yesterday as I was cleaning out a box of papers I found a card she has sent me long ago. It was before she found out she had breast cancer. In the card she said that she was thinking of me and worried that I didn't take my calcium. She said, "Ma, please take your calcium cause I don't want to hear you broke a bone or something." My Jeannette always worried about me as I did of her.
Someday I know I will see my precious Nettle Poodle again.
