As some of you know I've been abroad for the past few weeks and I haven't been able to check my email or the msg boards too often. Just last friday though, I managed to get to an internet cafe here in Nicosia (the Cyrpiot capital) and the first thing I did (as it is my custom) was to log in to my MSN messenger and see if Renee was online, and sure enough she was

Imagine my surprise when a week later I log in, msg her again but instead of getting the traditional greeting and smiley, I get a msg saying that Renee is at the hospital in critical condition

Roderick, I lack the words to express how deeply saddened I am at these news. I can only promise you that starting this very night me and my friends from school will pray for Renee's condition to improve. There's nothing I can do, but I know God can. May he watch over Renee and restore her to good health...amen.
I only wish I could be closer to home right now.

*sighs*
Just last night I was feeling a little down because of some things that have been happening here. I felt as if I was the most unlucky man on earth. Oh how insignificant and ephemeral my problems seem now! We human beings can be so foolish at times... I truly know nothing.
I can't type anymore. I'm all out of words. Please get well Ciara!!!
