An Old Lady's Poem
What do you see, nurse, what do you see? What are you thinking when you’re looking at me? A crabby old woman, not very wise, uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes?

To the families of those we’ve lost; to all who called them friends; to the students of this university, the public servants who are gathered here, the people of Tucson and the people of Arizona: I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today and will stand by you tomorrow.

I am exactly who I was born to be by the parents I was supposed to be born from. I find joy in what I do and disappoinment in doing what others do. Why conform to what men or your friends want? Saying exactly what you feel you should say and listening to music that warms your heart should be more…

My father left on business for Dresden, Germany. Five days feels like twelve! I miss him so much. He is literally the only person on this planet, who if passed away, I would not know what to do with myself. I could not live. He makes me smile everyday. I cry just thinking about how he has always…
