If you can pick up a cheap microphone to plug into your computer, you can download "Audacity" from the internet which is a good, free, recording programme. I can give you more instruction via email if you want. I would love to hear some of your stories read out loud.

Krista--I had no idea what I was going to write as I sat down to compose this post. Then I cried as I wrote it, knowing how sad this story really is. JoeinVegas--I will never forget the pain in her eyes when she looked at me and my dog, but was really looking so far past me. It will disturb me forever. Augs--Amen, indeed. At least, let's hope so. mur--I will, I promise, when I know I should. It is so hard to tell, right now, because this girl and her dad clearly spend more time together than she and her mom. And she is always "happy" with him when he is not screaming at the mom. God, what a mess. But, I am not letting her go it alone, even if she never knows me, that I promise. Lauren--See, I just have this vision of preppy Bethesda, MD relocated to Naples, because I know of so many who have relocated there. Botox and yellow hair? That's here on the East Coast side of SoFla!!! Okay, I guess it is there, too. I stand corrected. :) Michael–Thank you, so much.

Krista–I had no idea what I was going to write as I sat down to compose this post. Then I cried as I wrote it, knowing how sad this story really is.

No one is like that there. If they're skinny and preppy, they color their hair and lots of botox. If they have gray hair, they'd be 90 years old. Trust me on that one. I lived in Naples, FL.

Use your own good judgment about if or when to call. I don't want her to be in the car driven by a drunken parent, or in the line of fire if her father's anger spills over into an unthinkable act. Your compassion to notice this little child and your common sense about when to act may be the answer to the prayer she's already said.
