Geraldine

This is my last required post for English 226 and I would like to dedicate it to Geraldine--my grandmother. Because of stubbornness in my family, I did not know Geraldine. Now it's too late. Geraldine passed away Wednesday November 10, 2010. I've been told that she visited me after I was born, but of course I would not have known this. Three years ago, my sister and I convinced our dad to take us to meet Geraldine. She was in the hospital and looked very ill. We promised to write and call, but we never did. Now she is gone.

Geraldine--Grandmother--I hope you can forgive my dad and grandfather for preventing Courtney and I from knowing you. But most of all, please forgive me for not calling or writing you, once we had met. Rest in peace and know that I will miss you. Love, Tiphanie Rimsky, your granddaughter.
