My friend, Allegra, is very ill and needs our thoughts and prayers. She is a poet with words, clicked off with her wonderful accent. She's a dear and a love and needs all of us now. If you don't mind, please bless her in your thoughts and prayers.
update: Allegra is hanging tough. her fever still comes and goes, but hopefully she's turning the corner.
