And, Beth, I'm so pleased to hear of another Ramona. :)Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-78241590611284671382009-07-21T16:07:02.308-05:002009-07-21T16:07:02.308-05:00I don't know if I've ever commented here (...I don't know if I've ever commented here (though I check in often) but I had to tell you how much I loved this poem.<br /><br />My own little girl just turned 7, and this encapsulates so much of how I feel right now as I watch her grow and change. <br /><br />Incidentally, she loves the Ramona books. :-) Although I simply call her "sweet girl" on my blog, for the past year or so she has called herself Ramona. She makes up stories about Ramona, and has a stuffed bear she takes everywhere whom she has named Beezus. So it always makes me smile when I see you use this name for you daughter!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589856495993730380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-31996268841834778532009-07-18T05:39:38.143-05:002009-07-18T05:39:38.143-05:00Grown up me just spent a month with my 82 year-old...Grown up me just spent a month with my 82 year-old mother.
