There are some of us who possess a few more quirks than others. A mother loves you in spite of those and can even make you feel special for having them. That is the way Ellie made me feel. Watching her smile light up her face as she would say to me, "Donna, you are so wierd", really warmed me. There were many times in my life when things at home were very difficult for me. My own mom not being able to escape it, I myself would flee. Many of those times fleeing in tears, angry or afraid I never had to be alone. I only had to run two blocks to find refuge and caring. I ran to the house of my best friend from the time I was 8 years old. My best friend whose mother let me sleep there so much the neighbors thought I was a family member. I did even have my own burea space Whose mother took the heat when I made fun of other kids and adults or got caught soaping cars. The mother who took the heat when I offered an empty string bean can up and asked for donations for the Lesbian Assoc. from the two women who lived down the street. arm in arm with Dee of course The mom who heard "clunk" as I set down my bag of overnight stuff and just took out the bottle of Schnapp's and still let me sleep over. It was also funny how each Christmas she would get a cool outfit a size to small for Kim or Dee and have to give it to me. Some one who was always there for me through the good and bad of it all. Some one I will miss terribly, espically since my own mother just passed away July 9th. Ellie was like a mother to me. I'm sure she never quite understood me,but she loved me just the same.
