[Guest guest]

Hi Rene

I'm sorry you had a rough night and wish I could be there for you to hold

your hand and rock you to sleep. But know this, as I look at you in my

minds' eye, my RP sis, that you are beautiful with or without hair, with or

without braids. I'm here if you want to talk or shout or cry; as I know you

are there for me...

love you this
