Title: Taylor, Chelsea and Chris
Post by: Sue on October 20, 2006, 12:29:30 am
Okay, guys...this is my poem to you three.  Bear in mind, that I obviously am not a poet in the true sense of the word.  But, hey...I tried!! ;)

Taylor, Chelsea and Chris
The amazing kids of '06,
It was hard to see,
How bad it could be,
When things go horribly wrong,
...Turns out they were very strong.

They fought with all they had,
Some days it got very bad,
They had many struggles
We sent them all "huggles",
And though it was very severe,
...We knew they would persevere.

Kind thoughts from far and wide,
Their families by their sides,
The doctor's did their stuff,
These kids were pretty tough,
And we know the crazy year of '06,
...Will be better for Taylor, Chelsea and Chris.

Love,
Sue in Vancouver :)

That was awesome! You should take up on that! I still have hard days all the time. In fact i kinda fell down in class last night. It was sort of embare-assing cause some people asked if i was ok... then everyone got really quiet for a while. I just said "it's ok! it's cool!" then got back up.

I still want to be hyper and immature sometimes but it's hard going through this "recovery" lol...:(

Awww shucks, thanks guys.

PS to Taylor,

You handled the fall very gracefully.  If you don't make it a big deal, then they won't either...

Sue,

very touching poem - and of course very true.

As i have said earlier, it's hard to cope with these things at "middle age" but it's harder at the teens / twenty somethings coz of the peer pressure.

Remember guys, when you are really down, vent your anger here and as you have seen, the support is fantastic.

Wow, crowd surfing!  *throws herself in mosh pit*  That always did look fun. Yee ha!

Well, thought the "young 'uns" needed their own poem.  Happy it was well-received.

*whew*.

Sue,
I've been meaning to thank you for the lovely poem.  I just found it again and decided to print it out before it's gone into the archives.  I think I'll put it in the scrapbook.  I'm thinking of writing a book when all this is over, so I may be coming to you for permisson to reprint.  The poem is beautiful and heart-warming.

Awwww. That's so nice of you to say that.  I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Boy, there is a story here, that's for sure.  I am visualizing one of those big feature stories that are in the Sunday paper sometimes and I can see somebody doing a nice in-depth story on the three "kids" and their different experiences, and outcomes and such.  Wish my journalism skills were better, I'd try to tackle it, but don't know if I have the talent to do that. I can think 'em up tho, for others to try.  Could also go into a magazine. 

Let me know how the book is going!

Thank you Sherry.  I appreciate it.  Well, these three have had a heck of a year. My little tribute poem doesn't even begin to make up for what all they endured.  Not even in the ballpark, the city, the county, the state or the country!!  Quite remarkable people, these three and their families.
