are you alive
dead maybe
are you walking
talking, laughing
crying
can you see the sunsets
do you awake at sunrise
have you found yourself
are you clean
have you relapsed
do you think of me
can you see me in your mind
are you aware I love you
my firstborn

Oh my, you tug at my heartstrings with this one, dear Jerry! May you be given the chance to reunite! And may she be fine.
Such a beauty and such melancholic eyes.

Love,
Margherita

It has been over two years that I have heard from Paula, Margherita. Heartbreaking, not knowing.

So do I, Ms. E, so do I? I can only hope. What else to do?

Nothings cries harder than the emptiness of not knowing, my friend, and nothing's more sad than not caring enough to dry those tears.

Hopefully her handkerchief is already flying your way...

I am sorry you aren't in contact with your daughter.  Though many circumstances are different in my case, I know the pain of the rejection of one of one's children.  My daughter rejects me in order to fulfill her image of one whose mother, in her words, "was never there" for her, one I don't agree with at all.  I have done everything I can think of to change the circumstances, to no avail - so I belive I understand your plight, in as far as one can understand another's position.

Thanks, Owl. Paula and I have had a rocky relationship. On the one hand I am the greatest guy in the world, and on the other hand I'm a rotten s.o.b.

She's disappeared before, but not this long. I worry bout her.

'life' ... shouldn't have to be so tragically sad!

I'm sorry to hear that you have this particular circumstance
especially to deal with  ... may well be the v. hardest one of all?!
