I got an email from a friend, Elie. A beautiful redhead. I still remember when I first saw her at the Barnes & Noble in Flagstaff. I fell. I actually managed to ask, stammeringly, for her number. Even more shocked she gave it. It was the first time I had ever worked up the courage. And to really put the icing on the cake, she went out with me. And then of course, I tried to put a knife through me arm, and spent the week in the psych ward. She wasn't as friendly after. And it was years before I found the nerve to contact her of Facebook. But she accepted. Through the two most difficult parts of my life, she was there, then and now. And I truly don't think she knows how wonderful that is to me. Thank you, Ellie.
