This essay is meant as a tribute to the wonderful kind spirit of Kelly and as a chronicle of my own failure of generosity in response to such an offering.Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-4927582167885718642010-12-09T15:48:42.491-05:002010-12-09T15:48:42.491-05:00A janitor didn't "dump" Kelly K'...A janitor didn't "dump" Kelly K's journals and medical records. You abandoned them, left them in a filing cabinet drawer in the tiny adjuncts' office in B Building, Center Campus (the drawer had your name on it). I found them, began reading at random the tortured thoughts of this deeply troubled woman. I felt the records deserved more respect than you had given them, so I put them in a large box and carried them to my car. After skimming the journals -- did you know Kelly had taped rosaries to some of the pages? She taped other things as well, but I'll not mention them here -- I disposed of most of them eventually, but I still have two in my possession. Kelly wanted someone to write her story. I wrote it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-33662744649224462542010-12-06T17:56:04.864-05:002010-12-06T17:56:04.864-05:00great post michelle. just wrote about becoming cat...great post michelle. just wrote about becoming catholic myself in my last post. how ironic!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709835494925654060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-17118049545902392392010-12-06T07:05:15.407-05:002010-12-06T07:05:15.407-05:00"some burdens could never be set on fire, I r..."some burdens could never be set on fire, I realized, and you must carry them on your own."<br /><br />Yeup that is a very Catholic attitude but then being a excommunicated Catholic I get to leave the baggage at the station. or was it me that excommunicated them...oh well either way the bags stay on the platform.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-29259416029556720012010-12-05T22:34:32.321-05:002010-12-05T22:34:32.321-05:00my first thought was wow.
