RubyMars:Have you heard anything else about your sister and that pieceofcrap?
AHall80:My dad e-mailed me and said Paige is fine and acting more like herself than she had been. He said he hadn’t noticed she’d been acting strange until now thatshe’snot.
AHall80:Knowing my dad, he feels like he failed her, but he won’t say anythingaboutit.
RubyMars:I’m sorry,Aaron.
RubyMars:If there’s something I can do or say,tellme.
AHall80:Iwill.
AHall80:Tell mesomething
AHall80:Anything
RubyMars:That’s notbroad. :)
RubyMars:I gave my sister herdress.
AHall80:Send apicture.
AHall80:What’d she sayordo?
RubyMars:I took it to her room when we were home alone and gave it to her. She stared at it for a long time, and I really thought she was going to cry, but then she hugged me and told methankyou.
RubyMars:Today I walked by her room and found her sitting on the edge of her bed, kind of staring off into space. Hopefully she’s thinking about going to skate, but whoknows.
RubyMars:I’ll send you a picture right now. I think it’s my bestoneyet.
RubyMars:But…
RubyMars:I don’t know if she’ll actually fit into it if she tries putting it on. I used her measurements from when she was trainingregularly.
AHall80:Maybe it’ll motivate her to get backintoit.
AHall80:Wow. I just opened the attachment. Did you do a rainbowpattern?
RubyMars:Yes :). I thought about doing more of a red theme, like a phoenix coming back from its ashes, but the rainbow just popped out at me. It’s not as depressing either. She lost, she didn’t die. I wanted it to look like she was rising up, or evolving. Like it’s more about living your life thandeath.
RubyMars:I don’t know if that makes sense, but… maybe Ioverthoughtit.
AHall80:I get it. A phoenix is more about the rebirth. You were thinking more of the lifeafterward.
RubyMars:Yes!Exactly!
AHall80:I can see the little wing-like things you did. Wow. Really,Ruby.Wow.
AHall80:If she doesn’t wear that, you should give it to someone who will. That doesn’t deserve to go into acloset.
RubyMars:Thankyou.
