i like this, edmund! though there are other stories like this out there, this is your story, a specific story, and i, for one, don't tire of hearing/reading of people like this. two literature references come to mind which i think you'll like if you don't know them already- a short short story by langston hughes titled, thank you, m'am and a poem by james weldon johnson, o black and unknown bards. good stuff, edmund. glen

Very, very moving. The poem describes this unusual woman so well you can't stop reading and you feel that you just know her and all the human qualities about her shine, thanks to your very vivid and deeply felt words. Great poem, indeed.
