Hi guys, Joellen here. As you may notice this is being written very
late, yesterday was a horrendous day! I turned on the local news at
noon, only to hear the top story about an 18 month old who died in a
fire. The little girl was the daughter of friends of mine, the fire was
started by her 4 year old brother. They got him and their 2 month old
out but were unable to rescue little Cheyanne. I belong to a group of
"Klingons" (star trek) and we gathered tonight to extend our sympathy
to this young couple and to determine what we could do for them. They
lost everything in the fire and don't have much money to begin with. I
felt like my heart dropped when I heard this on the news, they had
brought Cheyanne to the rehab facility that I was at about 18 months
ago, she was so small and sweet, falling asleep in my arms. To think
that she will never again be able to give her hugs and kisses again is
disheartening. Sorry this is off the subject but I guess I just needed
to vent. When I think of having Tm sometimes I just have to realize
that somewhere, someone has a day worse than mine.
