My Heart Is Heavy and I'm Sad To Have To Relate This To All My Friends...

September 30, 2007 8:03am CST
We've only known her a short while, but I love this lady... she kept a brave face on through tumultuous times... even made me laugh quite a lot but this morning, when I awoke, I found a PM from her, entitled SOS. This, about six hours after it was sent, and asking me in some way to let you all know...
Rozann (The Hairdresser) and the friend I introduced to you all, won't be around for some while, as she's been kicked out onto the street, presumably from midnight last night her time, with nowhere to go, no money, no car and no computer. I feel lost... I was asked not to reply to the message for obvious reasons and I think most of you will know what those reasons are... I just need to talk to her. Why didn't she take my phone number while there was still time, and call me "collect". I feel so helpless, and need to be there for her. She did attempt a post before she had to leave, but alas, had no time.
Roz has been to the dark side of life before... been lost herself, and now she's alone in the dark forest again. Were she in Britain, I could find her with little difficulty, but in the States, she is but an grain of sand in a vast country, and I have no idea where to start. Where she will roam now, I have absolutely no idea, and I know she's feeling pretty ragged at the moment, and would really love to come back to her roots. I feel so sad for her.
So, in an attempt to reach out my hand to her, I will be lighting a candle for Roz, today, and each day she's away, in the hope that the light will guide her on her path, help her to find herself again, and grant her the strength to find her way back to the place she loves. I'm not sure of the colour I'll use, as I'm torn between purple and brown, but perhaps I'll alternate the colours.
Passing this on is a very difficult thing for me to do, but as I said before, I love Roz and her being disconnected from my life just now, leaves a big empty space in my heart. I need to know that she's ok and not sleeping rough and putting herself at risk. She loves the ocean, and I fear for her... it's Fall, and turning cold... I can't tell you how painful this all is for me. September has not been the best month in my year, and I would ask you all again to maybe light a candle with me, and light Roz's way back to us? I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way... I didn't even have chance to say farewell, and my heart is heavy.
I'm rambling on a bit, I know, because I'm lost for words. She was walking a tightrope anyway, but now the tightrope has been taken away, and all I can think to do right now is call all our friends together in an attempt to send a bright light to light her way to happiness.... Sorry, I can't say any more. I'm upset and confused right now, so I'll just add a quote from Roz...
"To Be Lovely is So Easy, as Natural as Breathing...A Soft Smile of Graceful Peacefulness Radiates Around Me... Beware Your Happy Undoing, But N'er Fear The Red Rose of Love~ by the TheHairDresser:)"
Thank you for listening... again. x

I didn't know it was like this. I thought, I thought it was something else.
I'll keep Roz in my thoughts, she really needs the help. I can't think of anything else to say.

I know, my friend... I'm a bit gobsmacked myself. I didn't know it was so close in coming although she did intimate a little while ago that she'd got a reprieve. I do so wish she'd said something when I was talking to her an hour or so earlier.
Brightest Blessings.

Thank you Bayleigh... you're right. Yes, I am trying to remain positive, but it's very difficult when I can't communicate with her in any way. I'm as lost as she is here.
However, I am keeping the faith, and have posted a message for her in my 360, in the hope that she'll manage to get online and see it. I was kind of hoping Balasari might be in here, because he and Roz had such an understanding of each other. Not to worry, I'm sure he'll be along at some point... until then, my candle is lit, in the hope that she'll find her way safely back to her friends and loved ones.
Brightest Blessings.

I had an alert to your comment on 360 Lakota and on looking, it doesn't appear where Roz can see it... you put an anonymous comment in, so only I can see it. Perhaps it's not a great idea to leave your number on there, sweetheart, but you could type the comment in the normal way, about the shelter, omitting the number and she would see that... also she should see on her profile, but who knows what will be done with her account now she's gone? I just hope she can get back in.
Thank you for your concern, my friend. You just concentrate now on getting better yourself... hear? xxx

I hope she gets back soon too, Lakota, and safely, because I fear for her. This came as a big shock to me because we were talking and laughing not more than about an hour prior to her sending me the message. Unfortunately, I'd just gone to bed, and didn't see it until I got up. She wanted to post a discussion, but was not given the time to do so, hence she PM'd me and asked me to let you all know. She sounded very down and almost as though she was being dragged from the computer.
I've left her a message on my 360 page if you'd like to read it, in the hope that she'll manage to get online sometime soon, and that it will help her. I know how she so yearns for her roots, but helpless to do much when I don't know where she is and can't contact her.
Anyhow, here's the link for my 360. You should be able to get in there, as I've altered the settings.

Awwwwww, thank you so much Maddysmommy. I'm surprised you haven't met her here, but just the same I very much appreciate your prayers. Thank you also for the hugs... they always make me feel better too... give me a kind of warm feeling, which I'm sure is something Roz needs right now.
I just hope, as Lakota says, she has the sense to find some shelter. Being alone on the streets of the USA in the middle of a cold, dark night is daunting enough, and I'm very mindful of her love for the Ocean. She hid her despair very well, but I knew what she was going through and went along with her nervy yet jocular conversations. I'm in shock to be honest, but I am trying to keep faith that she will get back to us, somehow, soon, which I'm sure she will with our prayers and candles.
Brightest Blessings and thank you again, for everything. x

Oh this is terrible...she's replied to quite a number of my discussions and was witty and charming...I went to her page and noticed how she had had problems a few weeks ago, as her son's apartment was burnt down...and now this...Why was she kicked out? Was she having severe money problems? One could never guess she was going through all this though..
I tried to get to your 360 blog but couldn't..all I got was my page--do you have a better link?
Yes my prayers go out to her, and you too! My candles will be lit.
Do you think that is why you were up so late? I remember the discussions the two of us were involved in and you mentioned it was 4 in the morning where you were..did you perhaps sense something and was restless? Does she have any family that can take her in temporarily... I sure do hope so
Please keep us updated if you hear anything

Yes, Pye, her son's apartment burned down about three weeks ago from what I can remember and she was unable to help him out. She was pretty upset about that.
As for why she was kicked out, I'm not sure, but she did go out there initially to be with a guy she met on the internet. Now, whether it was him who threw her out, I'm not too sure, or whether she was no longer with him, but I do know that it didn't work out. She's pining for her roots... longs to come back home... everything's gone wrong, but I didn't probe because she was trying to keep cheerful through it all. She needed people to talk to and she needed to keep it cheerful and laugh, so I introduced her in here, in order that she'd never be short of a friendly chat.
I can't really imagine that a landlord would throw her out in the middle of the night. I got this PM from her soon after I'd gone to bed and didn't find it until I got up... she sent it to me at around 6.45a.m. my time, and I'm not sure whether Massachusetts is 5 or 6 hours behind but at earliest is was a quarter to one in the morning. Now, would a landlord put her out at that time... would he be entitled? Not here, my friend. I think it was her man. Oh, she didn't love him any more. He seemed to keep her prisoner there, so to speak... sounded like possessiveness.
She was thrown out with no car, no money, nowhere to go, and I fear for her safety.
That's strange about the 360 link... all the others got there and I'm not sure what else to offer you. I'll try to send you an invite in the normal way, always assuming you use the same name everywhere. Before I try to invite you, try asking for my Yahoo Profile, Moonchild031.
It could be I sensed something was wrong, but I certainly didn't realise how fast the time was going because I was so involved in discussions. I didn't go to bed until after six, and her message came at around six forty-five... if I sensed something, that was odd, but then I was very tired by that time.
As for family, I have no idea what happened with her son, only that she couldn't afford to help him in any way. Her mother is out there too but I don't know how close and whether she has room to take her in. I don't even know how they get on. I just wish she would find a way of getting in touch, because I'm very concerned about her safety.
Thank you for the candles. I appreciate that very much. Brightest Blessings.

I don't know much about the guy but I know there have been problems there for a long time and she wanted to come home. I can't blame her for that, but as you say, it's a really mean thing to do.
I haven't seen an alert for 360 or anything. I'll pop in and have a look in a tick. I'm late for bed again, lol... being trying to catch up with Pogo, and I doubt I've made payout on here this month.
Thank you for your prayers, Pye. All of us together should be able to pull her through, and let's hope we hear something very soon. The note she sent sounded quite terse, as though he was hounding her out, and so did her quick little discussion I thought.
Oh well... there's not a lot we can do at the moment but burn our candles and think her back. Brightest Blessings, my dear friend. Take care. x

You're right it definitely then sounds like her boyfriend threw her out, but just to throw her out without being able to take anything,...what kind of heartless bas**rd could anyone be no matter what the situation?
Oh I did find your link and I did a friend request for you...I didn't even know about Yahoo 360!
Yes have my candles burning for her now and my prayers

Pattie... I know how you feel... I love this lady so much. I don't know whether you can get in, but I've written a message to her in my 360 page. I'll open it to the public and perhaps you'd like to visit and listen to the words I sent her on the wind... It'll make you cry, but hey! This is a real friend, and we can afford her a few tears. I'm so afraid of her love for the Ocean, I can't tell you. Anyway, please pay a visit to my 360...

Gabs, you know your way to my 360 page. Please take time to look at the message I put in there for Roz. I don't know when she'll see it but I hope it's soon.
I was speaking to her but an hour before she sent that message and although I know she's been having problems, she gave no hint as to the fact that this was going to happen. We laughed, in fact, quite a lot. I'm in shock with the news, and I'm fearful of her love for the Ocean. Not only is it beginning to get cold now, she's lost and alone, and I feel so helpless.
You take care, Sweetheart. This month has not been a good one for me, this being the third crap deal I've been dealt. Still, it's October tomorrow and must be a better month for me. Love and hugs. xxxx

All I know is that she WAS in New England. Now, that's a big State, my friend. I hope she will have the nous to find a shelter for today and visit a social service office tomorrow, but who knows? She hardly gave me a clue to where she would go or what she would do because she was being hustled out of the apartment and off the computer. There was hardly time to say "goodbye" or "farewell", let alone anything else.
Thank you for adding your prayer... I just hope she looks in soon and lets us know she's ok. I miss her so and I'm worried about her.
Brightest Blessings, my friend, and thank you for caring. x

I just feel so devastated by this. I can't imagine how she feels! She's such a sweetheart, and I just wish she had let us know. I have no money, hardly any for myself, but I would have made call after call to make things happen for her. If you hear from her again, please let us know. She's the sweetest thing to ever come to MyLot, and I will pray for her now and often.

Yes, me too, Pam. I also can't imagine how she feels being thrown out in the middle of the night, which I estimate to be either a quarter to twelve or a quarter to one in the morning... pitch black, no money and no car, just wandering with nowhere to go. How mean is that, and such a lovely person, as you say.
I hope she's found a shelter or something. I just feel so helpless right now, and my heart is saddened. Thank you for your prayers. I've left her a message on my 360 page which I hope will give her the strength and resolve to make it out there. If you wish to read it, and listen to the music, feel free. She IS loved, and by many people. I just wanted her to know that, and am hoping she can find some place to get online and read it. The link is

I dont know the woman you are referring to but I really feel the sadness in your words. You know what, she is very lucky to have someone like you as a friend. Life is a big battle field...and we all have trials to face. We must struggle to win and survive...along the way it is always good to know that there would be someone who will care for us... stop for a while and cheer us when we need someone to believe in us... Its never easy finding that person... but she is really lucky to have you.
I know in her heart she feels all your fears, I know that she feels your worries and fear for her... I just hope she would find ways to let you know how life is going on for her at the moment.
If she has no home to stay right now, no money, then life would surely be tough for her. But I know somehow she will find ways to survive. Just keep on praying for her...and you know you're not alone with this. I would also include her into my prayers. Its good to know that in sites like this... you would find those people you would treasure for your whole life.
I dont know if what I am saying makes sense... but I hope it would help at least. Keep in touch with the Lord... HE will surely hear you out.

Thank you Purple. She and I both knew it was coming, as she said she had a reprieve for the moment, a little while ago, but he sure chose his timing, didn't he? The middle of the night, nowhere to go, no money and no car. Is that mean, or is that MEAN?
I hope she gets in touch soon... I can't keep from a tear or three every time I think of her wandering the streets, alone. Still, she's a resourceful and cheerful type, even through the bad times, so perhaps I'm underestimating her a little... I do hope so.
Brightest Blessings, love and hugs.

This is the precious lady of whom I speak, my friend. She has been going through some really rough times for a while now, and the crunch has come. She is on the streets, no home to go to, no money and no car, and we have lost touch with her. She loves the Ocean, and I'm fearful of that fact, in the state of mind she must be in.
Thank you for your prayers... you don't know how much they are appreciated, and I will certainly keep you informed of any news. Brightest Blessings.

Sorry, Balasri... just after I let you know about this, up popped a discussion from Roz. She's back, safe and sound... the only problem is, she's back in the same place, so perhaps we will still keep the candles going to help her find her way out. Oh, I know she will cope, but the situation is not a good one.
However, I'm overjoyed with the news that she's back, and safe and sound! That's all that matters for the time being, huh?

Oh Darkwing I feel so bad too. I know your heart is heavy now and if it wasnt you would be no kind of a friend. I can really relate to your friend. Just a couple of months ago my husband and I almost were in that situation. But thankfully I found a cute little house that we are now renting. And let me tell you its really small. My husband was out of work and now he is back. But enought of me Im going to be praying for your friend. And please be positive and let us know the minute you find something out. Please dont be sad.

Terry... look above your comment! She's BACK!!! Ok, she's gone back to the same situation, but she knows what she's doing and can be a tough little cookie when she needs to be. I'm just happy to tell you she's back.
As for your situation, it matters not the size of the home, it's the hearts that entwine within, and I'm glad to hear that you made it through too. Good luck for the future... I'm sure that having conquered that obstacle, life will be great for you both now.
Thank you for your prayers and hugs. I appreciate them so much, but I'm sad no more! Rozann is BACK! Woohoo!!!
