Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Dramatic Monologue

Never forgotten Senator Bob Graham

After my injury on Macdill Airforce 
base in Tampa I was so shattered 
broken when I spoke with Senator 
Bob Graham he helped me stayed 
with me through this difficult process 
helping me receive workers compensation 
and disability ssd after my nervous 
breakdown trying to file documents 
with the Supreme court merit board 
he was a wonderful person who cared 
about everyone I am so saddened 
to hear of his passing my prayers 
are with his family for comfort and 
healing many political leaders could 
learn a lot from Senator Bob Graham 
human process what an awesome human 
being he treated me like i was his daughter 
it wasn't easy and i was emotionally 
crippled he never abandoned me he 
listened he cared and he got things done 
keeping my dignity thank you for your service 
may your family be comforted and may  
you continue to rest in heavenly peace

My family have our flags half staff
In Honor of Senstor Bob Graham 
Taps are sounding rest in peace.

Panagiota Romios April 19, 2024 at 5:58 PM Thank you, Yolanda! The tendency phere is to make every political person into a devil which is wrong! yes, some of them are bad but not all of them. And by writing this, you prove my point that I’ve been trying to say for five years, so I thank you for that. I thank you for being willing to honor a politician because it won’t be done here otherwise. It’s more like spit on all politicians and I don’t like it because like you I have known many that have helped me along the way too. Pangiexx. Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen April 21, 2024 at 3:19 AM Indeed thank you for your kindness many blessings.

I Am Anaya April 19, 2024 at 9:53 AM Florida man extraordinaire Bob Graham Yolanda, I only read great things about the senator A proud Democrat, he governed a kinder state in which party wasn’t the be-all, end-all it is now, and his initiatives in education weren’t political, aimed at elevating student learning and ensuring public dollars went to enrich public schools, not private ones. Sorry to hear of difficulties you have suffered. Our beloved Gov Jerry Brown is 86 now, he too is a great man and WAS an awesome Gov. ahead of his time! Lovey tribute Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen April 21, 2024 at 3:21 AM Thank you many blessings have a great day.
