Vanessa's ninth anniversary with us

Ninth Anniversary with Vanessa

She greets you like a long-lost friend.
Her hugs and smiles have no end.
Her gut-level laugh will lift your spirit.
It gives you joy when you hear it.

She likes to tease and punch playfully.
Slapstick humor fills her with glee.
So if you drop something or burn your fingers,
At your expense, her laugh lingers.

Typical American, she likes her stuff.
She never seems to have enough.
She carries it around like a wheel barrow.
Even though her wheel chairs’ a little narrow.

She has enough stuffed animals to start a store.
But she always seems to have room for more.
Her shirts number about one hundred-twenty.
She’ll only wear three despite having plenty.

She likes to talk to her sister on the phone.
She likes to watch TV when she’s home.
She likes opening the afternoon mail.
She likes shopping and things on sale.

She’s non verbal but talks all the time.
She remembers things and keeps things in line.
If you need a smile or to have some fun,
Look to Vanessa, she’s the one.
