I had a nickname for Jerry that few others knew about, and even fewer knew what it meant. I called her my "Jer Bear". It might seem silly, but to me, she represented what a teddy bear represents to a child. I could always count on her for a hug, and for validation that I mattered as a human being. I told her several times, although not nearly enough, that if I could have chosen my mother, it would have been her. Then, afterward, I could always be counted upon to leave the room before the inevitable "waterworks" started.

God bless all who enter this site, and please know it is my distinct honor to be able to provide it.

I would welcome any of you to contact me with suggestions for additions to this site, or just to chat, and you may do so by clicking on my name.

Love and light,
