To Dream
Mounting my Pegusus
Going
Being
Really Existing
Surmounting Heights seen, unseen
My Wings Wind
YOUR BELIEF IN ME
(I came to bring them life... FAR more life)

As I sit here in the tiny hamlet of Clinton, Oklahoma. You may ask yourself, "Who is Ted, and how did he know Helen?" In 1998, I started working for a company called Bowne Business Solutions in Los Angeles, Century City to be exact. I was outsourced to a investment consulting company called Bain & Co. I remember the day like ti was yesterday. July 28, 1998 was my first day at work and I met my co-worker and supervisor Helen Harris. Before a single word escaped her lips, I was stunned by her beauty. Later I would discover her true beauty radiated from within. It was a fast-paced environment, but we were a team of 4. Helen, Shannon, Danny and Ted. We had so much fun together, I can hear her laugh inside my head as I type this. For Christmas one year, I went to her apartment where she made me a Santa Clause suit to wear when we went to the inner city schools in Los Angeles. What a night that was, seeing her with mounds of red fabric on her floor and me as the apprehensive model. I soon moved to Houston with my company in the fall of 1999. Not too soon after, I learned of Helen's illness. We tried to keep in touch from time to time. In the world of many e-mail addresses, we got lost in the shuffle, but I always remembered her hotmail address "hav2clime@hotmail". Well, today is April 27, 2006, and I have always wondered where Helen was. If she was still in Texas, or did she return to California? Well, the news of her passing makes me numb inside. By chance, I typed her name in Google and found this blog. I will always remember her as a stong person of faith, someone that made my heart beat just a little bit faster whenever I was near her, and most importantly, someone who loved life. I was very touched by her drawing of the daisy, I am a graphics artist and would love to help in anyway I can with your memorial fund. Please contact me at tedhammond2006@yahoo.com.
Helen, I miss you dearly.
