Dear Roylene,
I hope you don’t mind me writing to you. Rita (Mrs. Vincenzo) has apprised me of your situation. May I take a moment to commend you? It takes a brave woman to face this kind of thing head-on.
I suppose I just want you to know you are not alone. I, too, have found myself in a preposterously difficult situation. But unlike me, you get to face your fear, walk into it. Be active inside the new life that waits for you. It’s like a storm, isn’t it? A storm with sun shining on the other side. And there you are, braving it like a hero.
Well, I’m here. If you need anything. And I don’t judge. And I don’t cast stones. I’m just a Ladygirl who likes to listen.
Gloria Whitehall
