For Herrad

For Herrad

One of several drawings I did remembering an old friend,
Herrad Ford,
Who taught me to blog
And why blog,
And her clever title,
Access Denied.
When diagnosed with MS, I was working as a nurse.
I couldn't handle the thought of support groups,
One more trip to town,
Time I wanted to spend at home.
I stumbled through the endless blogs about MS,
knew I wanted another patient to follow,
And found Herrad's blog early
in the alphabetized lists of MS bloggers.

Love,
Mary
