please read this
Ok, y'all....this is probably the only important post I will ever make, so I beseech you all, from the very embers of my heart, to read this, because I know there are some of you out there that can help.
If you know Lisa Trombley, please read on...
This is a difficult post for me. If anyone knows Lisa, than undoubtedly you will know Jamie Morton as well. Jamie passed away this May, five days after her 24th birthday. If this is news to you, please rest assured that in some form or another we did try to inform people - but understandbly, some of you were too caught up in your own lives to show anything besides a pulse when you heard the news. Others that we did not contact because you did not have a recent, or working, phone number. And the rest, well, you had your emails you never responded to, and in that silence you still remain.
I hold no grudge, so please do not bear one against me, that is not even the point of this post.
I hate to inform you that Lisa's father also died last week. The doctors brought him back to life, if you can call it that, but he is now on the help of machines, feared brain dead, battling severe kidney damage and failure, and the only sign of life from him is from monitors. He has a living will, so once the doctors take him off the machines WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS and he does not have the ability to breath for himself, Lisa's father will be dead again, and will remain that way.
And she is all alone, going through this tragedy, with no one.
My point to all this, is I am asking you, all of you that are in within reach, all of you that have in some way or another touched her life or crossed paths, please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop by her house, phone her, mail her a card.
ANYTHING any of you can do, no matter how small, I beg you with the entirety of my being, to do.
And this goes out to all of you, even if your last words and your last minutes with her were not the best, please see beyond that. I do not care, and neither will she, if you haven't called in a long time or stopped by - you know who you are, and no one is judging you.
No one is looking for excuses - JUST COMPASSION, and I know you all have the capacity, I have seen it on many occassions.
Even though, this goes for most of you if not all reading this, our circles of the world have grown broader and distanced from each other - DO NOT LET THAT BE YOUR EXCUSE FOR NOT SHOWING HER THAT YOU CARE.
Even if your quarrel is with me, do not let her suffer because of it, I am not asking any of this on behalf of myself. I am asking because her soul, her entire being, and her world, is suffering and she needs to know that there is someone out there that gives a damn. If you know her, you know that Jamie was the world to her, as is her father, and NO ONE from our original circle has stopped or called since those nights at Denny's (save a chance meeting at a local store) ....so please, DO THE MATH, who does this leave her with?
Besides her mother, I am the only left to listen to her heartbreaking phone calls, as I am in South Carolina (and am in the works of finding a way back up there ASAP).
But even as her friend, I realize what she doesn't need now is another long distance call.
She needs a hug. And a shoulder. And someone's hand she can squeeze, someone's heart she can hear. PLEASE if you are capable, be that someone.
If you need her address or her phone number, my email is parsnip_pixie@yahoo.com.
