    there once was a woman by the name of Pat Christ
    whom wasn't very Christian-like at all

    she did love all children dearly--I will give her that-
    and wanted the best for them...
    but was an evil bitch boss to everyone else

    a sad, sad person whom took all her anger out on
    people that actually appreciated her, had sympathy for her,
    felt empathy for her, stuck up for her at times, and
    gave her the benefit of the doubt more times than
    should have been granted

    but she manipulated these kind employees with her power
    of authority
    several were let go because of false accusations, several lives
    slightly ruined because of her selfish ways

    luckily, I was not a casuality of her war and will never be...
    because now I am on to her ways of manipulation and assumptions...
    I know how she works...and I'm wiser, I'm stronger...I know how to survive
    this hell that she puts the veteran employees through

    and she will be retired as boss within just a few years...so relief
    is within clear, crisp, clean sight...a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel

    we will endure her wrath as she fades into retirement...
    and then its a clean break for everyone

    sometimes I feel bad for her that her 20-30 years there is
    being left with such an enormous negative legacy...
    that people will breathe so much easier once she
    has left the building

    she started out as such a hopeful to the owners...
    and has become such a bitter, divorced and widowed grandma
    ...very similar to the character in Pearl Jam's "Soon Forget"
    ...accept the grandma part

    but it is comforting to know that she will be surrounded
    by her many grandchildren in her retirement...
    whom love her as grandma and know that she would
    do anything for them

    it is just unfortunate that her good deeds for her grandchildren
    involved making lots of money to treat others so poorly...
    but that was her choice

    and hopefully she will understand that, and be forgiven for it
    within this last phase of her life

    maybe with time, her legacy won't look so negative afterall...
    those devilish details always seem to fade from the picture
    the further away we get...

    until one glow of light remains...
    a single yet complex human existence stripped down to its
    pure, true, Christ-like soul

    ...as we began, and as we will end
    Yes, it is important to look at ones whole life. We are changing and growing, learning from life right up till The End. Like a good story The End is often the best part. Thank you for sharing.
