CLOE!

Terri Slatton , Ministries Christian singing artist!

And she tells the rest of the party that Tina is out cold.

Now those at the party knew that it was PARTY TIME. So For a few days they party and party hard. And from the start drugs were introduced to heroin and many other types of drugs. She would pass out. And one of the three would shoot her up. By the time she awoke she would be back into a party. It was so over whelming. After a few weeks the party stopped. And Tina needed the shot or needed the drug. she was hooked. John told her that there was no more money. And that there had to be a way to raise the money. And he let her come up with the answer to that.
She thought of many ways. And John would give her a reason that it would not work. So Betty and her were sitting and talking, Tina told John that she would sell her body, Sex .. John agreed to this. Betty and Tina went on ahead as planned. But Tina never found out that the whole thing truly was John’s idea. Betty just let on, so Tina would go along with it. Tina & Betty went out that night and many more nights. Got all hung up in the money, and the drugs, Became even more of the hype to do it.
Then it became necessary to do it. John started to demand more and more. He even got the two girls(Woman) to talk to other homeless woman into the ranks. The more pretty ones like Tina got the big bucks. While the others made chump change on the corner.
These girls could be expendable. If some one got killed it was no big thing. Because there was always another to take the place. Tina got so strung out at times she did not know where or what she was doing. After some time, Tina stopped caring how she looked; the only thing was the drugs.
Tina found herself on the corners. She lost the care for her self, and fell back to the drugs and the money. The money that she never saw, because it went to the drugs. One night as Tina was on the corner, When the john she picked up was a policeman; she ended up in jail. But she had to go get tested at Sherman hospital. While she was there she felt her lowest. A 21 year old. That looked 45 years old.
She wanted to take a chance. She spoke to the hospital counselor about rehab. So when she appeared in court the judge sent her to rehab and counseling with probation. While she was in rehab for her 8 weeks. And was sent to a half way house, where she tried to over come her problem.
She once again found her self on the street. Once again she was on the corner pulling tricks. She was unsuccessful with her endeavors. One morning Tina met a man named Sam, a strange man that was homeless but stayed to himself.

He took her to a minister friend of his, and the minister got her some needed help. Helped her get onto welfare, and got her a place to stay. She went back to the hospital to get treatments on her Addiction as the judge ordered also the counseling.

She also learned that her three years of drug abuse took its toll on her. For she now had Aids (HIV). And the effects of this were also taking hold. Tina died a little over a year ago ….

The Ending was a real hell for her: We had to redo this story to show the pain and hurt a homeless person sometimes find themselves. It is no fun being homeless. New Story next Month!

Seem to be the only thing left to hold.
Slowly!
You rise to walk to that desk
To touch all those ,
Expressions of old.
In your hands slowly you unfold and set in place.
All those pages of old.
Press out the wrinkles.
Put page to page.
Wrap and tie to protect from age.
To read and reread.
And now you wished ,
you would have told him,
about those feelings.
Instead of keeping them ,
in a bottle locked away.
Hidden for such a very long time.
Now it's all vanished into the dust of your memories.
The skeleton of your past.
Don't let it pass.
Speak out before its dust.
Change that dust to shining smooth,
And make it last.
Because those notes get old,
and brittle real soon…..<

yes!!
