Peg's video message to you all

She recorded this just a few minutes before we left the house this morning. Kinda says it all.

I agree with Eric; Peg already said it all. But my dad thought I should post this, so here it is:

Like a Campfire

There are those who know her better;
There are those who know her less.
I, poor deprived me, only met her
a few years ago, at best.

But in that time--that short time--
I grew fond of her quirks fast.
Her smiles and laughs were prime
spurs for our every joke and jest.

Because she had that rare gift
Rarely noticed, well I know it,
For achieving that incremental shift
of cares and aches away, to let comfort sit.

Her acceptance and kindness
Are unforced, warm, like a campfire
chasing away the cold; the mindsets
of fear and shields that make you shyer;
But without hiding a single star.
By letting you be who you are.

Perhaps this is why she does what she does.
I hate to admit, I don't know her that well.
But I do know her enough to say this:
I wish I knew her better, and longer, because she is the best.

-Nicole
