Ivan, Thank you. Your poem is beautiful, and it touches to the very core of my being. You are so perceptive, and have a wonderful way with words They cast a rosy glow over everything. In the cold harsh light of day, the situation is thus: We have an approximate date for Jessi's return home - June at the end of the school year, PROVIDED THAT I prove myself a competent and able mother. One of the requirements is that I attend a course in 'Nurturing'. Last week I was interviewed and cross-questioned by a series of social workers, had my financial records examined - and have been promised several hours of home health care! Now , how much of this is due to Ivan's intervention on my behalf I cannot swear to, but it seems a remarkable coincidence that things should have started coming right, just after the phone in campaign when several of you guys called up my congressman, Tom Davies. So, once again Ivan, I thank you most graciously, for your laudatory words. And for caring. hiLary bLue Ivan M Suzman wrote: > > Dear friends, > > (I have composed the poem below > to thank Niki Hoose and her staff > at WETA in Washington , for allowing us > PWP's (Persons with Parkinson's) > to be, through our dear friend HiLary BLue, > one giant glimpse more visible than ever before.) > 5> -Ivan Suzman, PWP, Portland, Maine, 49/39/36) > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
