I accidentally posted my story in Castle Rock instead of Denver. Not really sure how that happened. Hmmm. Anyway, since I don't live in Castle Rock, I cut-and-pasted it over to Denver. But then, I couldn't make this post go away, so instead of having a big old empty post sitting here, like it has been for a month now, I figured I might as well fill it in with something. I apologize for the mix-up. Anyway.....

My grandma, right, is ill (egally in this country) and only has a few months to live (here before she's deported) and one of her last wishes is to see all of the family together (here, not there) before she passes (through security).

I think my grandma has been an outstanding member of the community (corrections program) and has been a positive (drug test) (under the) influence on every level.

On a national level, she spent four years of her life in the (Salvation) Army. Closer to home, she was totally committed (twice) to Fort Logan Mental Hospital, where "people who love people help people who see people." Locally, my grandma does everything she can to help the environment. Around the city, she is known as the "Lean, mean, green (card) machine."

In closing (out my bank account), she's the greatest. If I were to somehow get her to watch a game from a suite before she leaves us (with all the legal fees) I'm almost sure it would add days, if not months (of appeals) to her life.
