this is the last picture i took of kelsey before she left. what a beautiful young girl. who knew such natural, gorgeous ammenities could be lost so quickly.
soon after i had moved away, kelsey began experiencing intense cold/flu-like symptoms. runny nose, dry eyes, raw lips, you know how it can be. when these didn't cease, i forsaw her misfortunes becoming much worse. only now do i regret offering advice when it would have helped.
she was so unfortunate to look at that her friends and family disowned her and she was forced to begin living life on the streets. one can see just how harsh those conditions can be, especially for a young girl. dirt, grime and weather damage tainted her beauty for the worst.
because of her assumed need for cheap dollarama hair-clips, kelsey's funds ran scant and the last of it was spent on drugs. i began wondering if she could ever turn her life around.
not only did my absence affect kelsey, my grandmother was so disheartened that she felt life was not worth living. she attempted suicide!
lucky for her though, i had learned my lesson with kelsey, so i sped to gramma's rescue, just in time to save her from fulfilling a terrible decision!
after success in preventing gramma from doing something she would later regret, i felt it was time to give kelsey another chance. i gave her a knuckle sandwich and believe it was the best thing that has happened to her.
with my persuasion, i was able to convince my parents to let her move back home. her wounds, though slowly, are finally healing.
postscript: i'm actually going to school to study advanced special effects makeup and prosthetics, so no family members were harmed in the making of this post!
