I talked with her on the phone a few minutes ago. She sounded pretty good, but had some bad news. She has trashed her second computer in the last few weeks and has made the descision that she doesn't want another one. I've been thru bad luck with computers and felt the same way, so I completely understand what she's feeling right now. I've told her that I'm going to put together a computer from my garage full off spare parts (it'll make my wife so sad to see them go, he says sarcastically) and mail it to her as soon as I can. She said she'd just break that one too, but I told her, "so what, it'll be yours to break". She also told me that she's decided not to stay in her house and will be moving in with her Grandmother. Out of all her relatives, she's always spoken with such amazing love and respect for her. If she feels that she must leave her own home, at least I feel safe in the knowledge that she'll be going somewhere that she'll be safe and loved.
We've promised that we'll talk at least once every month, and I asked if it would be OK for me to give you all updates about how she's doing. She said OK. If any of you have any messages you'd like to get to her, either post them here, or you can email me at: gbwhite at comcast dot net. I'm sure she'd love to hear from you.
I'm sure she'll survive this, she's a good woman and an excellent friend. But your good thoughts for her couldn't hurt.
Thanks,
Greg
