Kyle

This weekend I went to Lusk to see my Kyle again. It was her birthday last Monday and I couldn't wait to give her a birthday hug! She looked great and her spirits were up. We talked (just the 2 of us this time) for 4 hours straight...imagine that! I thought we would end up running out of things to talk about, but not this time! I filled her in on the family gossip (she knows almost all of you) and she sends her love to you all. She passed her GED on Monday (said it was her birthday present to herself) and is in a computer class and goes to NA and AA every week. She's still going to church (still angry but sticking with it at least) and is putting in for a reduction in her sentence. If it's passed, she may be going to the program in Cheyenne NEXT MONTH! She's made big progress in her life, and I couldn't be more proud! She doesn't have the anger in her eyes like she used to, and her laugh is the best sound I have heard in a very long time. We talked about the old days when we could work all night and then drive to Buffalo to see my mom and Leo. We also talked about throwing the rock (or should I say BOULDER) over South Pass Lookout. I haven't laughed like that in months! I plan to go back next month to see her and I am counting down the days already!
