| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 01/03/05 at 02:29 PM this is so poignant and wonderful. Especially the closing line! All our dolls seemed to have a magical (sometimes it scared me) feel of being able to see and be real, at night especially. And our imaginations carried them into much activity in our minds. |

She did this before she got too sick with Alzheimer's and had to go to a nursing home. Thank you for your wonderful poem. |
