To "The Dean"
Family friend Pat "The Dean" Chadwick passed away yesterday after a battle with cancer. Her fond memory will surely live on in her friends and certainly her children and grandchildren.
The following is a little something I wrote after hearing the news.
to The Dean
they don't do
they don't be
they don't are
anymore
they just stop
make no sound
move no inch
still is all
what happens then
something
nothing
who knows?
who should remember
what some will forget
as one single day
fades into forever
we move along
we move together
better because
you couldn't be never
I knew her best through my mom's work with her at the University of Portland where "The Dean" was a well-respected and beloved colleague. Read UP's press release. Although I personally never attended nor, when I was younger, knew what a dean was, that's the name I came to know her by and forever will. In my mind and even while at PLU, "The Dean" was her and no one else.
