Hanging in or out

I remember when I was in high school, my friend Pat had a friend Mary Ellen who lived perhaps in Manhattan. Was it on the UPpwer West Side or something? I was reading with my Optacon a letter or something about someone who had asthma. I was still living in New York. I think we spoke about will to live. If someone does not have the will to live, they die. How sad. The will to live and hopelessness can hurt a lot of people. Many of us feel hopeless, powerless, impotent, etc. We must find ways to connect with each other, so that we do not feel so isolated. This is key! Kkoraling Lynne
