She and I were very close in the late 80's and 90's. We lost touch with each other when she moved to New York and then rekindled our friendship, via phone, in the early 2000's. I had since married and moved to Puerto Rico. I lost touch with her again after I had gone through some personal hardships but I always kept her in the back of my mind. The last couple of years I've tried searching for her on the internet thinking she would be on facebook or something but nothing - untill today. Its been a few months since I searched for her and today I find your blog. At first I wasn't sure, then I read the line about the white wine, bleading and not wanting help. I knew it was her. Searching further I came across the photos. I am so sad, she was a big part of my 20's and we went through a lot. I was already missing her but always held out hope to reconnect with her - yet again. She is missed.<br /><br />Michele (Chanel)Michele Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114251431477966269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-33076875641409302202011-06-28T08:09:15.810-04:002011-06-28T08:09:15.810-04:00Dave Dubya-- thank you for that.

I remember one time when I was standing at her apartment door banging on it because I knew she was doing drugs inside. I wanted to haul her off to the hospital. I was furious when she wouldn't open the door. I walked away realizing that she was going to have to choose for herself whether to live or die. She chose to live. But not because of anything I did or didn't do. <br /><br />I have also lost several friends to depression/suicide. Again, even though I saw it coming, there was nothing I could do to save them. <br /><br />There was nothing you could have done either. It is sad that you didn't get to say goodbye, but I'm sure she knew and still knows that you cared about her very much. I'm sorry for your loss.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-24606875113085596462011-06-09T01:48:43.355-04:002011-06-09T01:48:43.355-04:00To paraphrase……God doesn't give me more than h...To paraphrase……God doesn't give me more than he thinks I can handle.
