(Online) In My Heart By Larry Chadwick I logged into my computer as every day I do and found myself unprepared for what is always there. It’s just an Instant Messenger I use it every day. But today it jolted me with a reminder I seldom see. It said, “Ginger (offline)” and I realized never again will I see your name at the top. And since my email would only bounce, I thought I’d come here and say it where it’s more likely to get through. You know I love you and miss you every day. But know I honor you every chance I get by thinking of you. October 10, 2005 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I understand, Larry. I have two poets on my IM still on MSN that I just can't bare to delete. So I don't. It's good to have that reminder of your dear Ginger. |

I thought I’d come here and say it where it’s more likely to get through. ~*~ Through collective hearts... with yours at the helm, it will most certainly always be online... |

I was at Bothell High the other day Larry and I care to share this with you. I was picking up my brother and I had like a feeling that kept pushing me to walk back down towards Miss. Chadwick's classroom. I went there and there was a kid in the hall outside her classroom reading the great gatsby and humming blackbird. It gave me shivers but it also brought back so many happy memories of 1st period english. and her smile was imprinted in my eyes. This poem was really good, and its kind of heart wrenching to think of that and I am glad that I was lucky enough to have been taught by her. She was by far the teacher that stands out to me, because she was able to teach love! God Bless |
