Well, its possible that something good has come out of what I've been posting about my friend Kylie. A friend got a hold of me, and confessed to having struggled with suicidal thoughts over last weekend, and we talked for a long time, and I told her to go to the hospital even if the feeling had passed. She said she would, and thanked me for being there.
Does that balance the scales of my failure with Kylie? No. But if she follows through, I'll feel a little better about it.
Meanwhile, the last update I have on Kylie is that she is now considered a missing person, and the local sheriff is involved. I'll keep you guys posted if I learn more.
Lastly, I want to talk a bit about my last piece. I'm not going to apologize for it - I think the warnings are clear enough, but lets just say I hope that soon I'll have a happier story to share.
Hugs to all, and try to be good to each other, okay?

No apologies necessary.
I hold prayer for those who need it weather it is a prayer of grief, protection, healing, or celebration. I tried to send a message of support or condolences to you last night, however the universe removed the post before I could send it. I am still praying for a positive outcome for Kylie and support for you. May the Goddess hold you safe.

With those with open eyes the world reads like a book
It feels wrong somehow...
...you extended friendship and encouragement to her, and you're left feeling a failure. But we cannot, nor should we feel responsible for the actions of another. She chose whatever path even after all the welcome and friendship you offered and no matter what the outcome, I hope you take away from this that you're far from a failure; your friendship and care may have been the one thing that kept her going, yes? Be encouraged, dear heart.
Love, Andrea Lena
