Here I am again. I have nothing better to do than write to you so I am doing just that. I met a lady named Glenda before I moved and she was so sweet. She really liked me alot. After I moved I saw her one more time when I came to visit. The next time I went to visit she wasn’t there anymore. I asked where she was and Ms. Earlene told me she had a nervous breakdown. Then she came over to Mrs. Rita’s apt. and she said she had started drinking alot and they put her in a Mental Hospital. She didn’t know where she was so I decided to call some hospitals and ask if she was there.

When I called Greenwell Springs Hospital they said she wasn’t there. But the thing was that she was supposed to be there. Then Ms. Earlene told me she got kicked out of there for bad behavior. I was so hurt to find out all of this because I loved her alot. I even had dreams about her. This is a shitty place to live. The last time I went to visit Emily I climbed up a tree and wouldn’t come down. I should have stayed up in that tree. Emily is my best friend and the only reason I keep fighting until I can go back to Denham.

Tired of fighting,
Carly
