My Sister Called!

First I'd like to thank everyone for their continued prayers, I'm sure they helped to keep her safe during her recent trials and tribulations.
She called me this morning to let me know that she was OK and to apologize for not having called sooner. She didn't go into any details and I didn't ask for any, I was just glad to hear her voice. She had fallen back into some old habits but is working at, again, shaking them. I have a phone number to reach her now and I'd like to convince her to come home for a visit. For now, it's just good to hear her voice. Thanks again to all for caring.

My Little Sister

I posted a few days ago that I was trying to get in touch with my sister, Carol. I thought I'd post a few more pictures of her. These pictures are how I remember my sister most. I am nine years older but enjoyed having her tag along with me and my friends. The picture below is my mom, dad, Carol and my dog Duke.
This picture was taken in our neighbors front yard. They had built the cutest little fence to keep the teenagers walking to an from school from walking on the grass.
Check out the whitewalls on our station wagon. A few years later my brother would put some baby moons (hubcaps) on this car. I don't remember the details, but for some reason my cousin and I were given permission to paint the baby moons. We bought some fluorescent orange spray paint and painted all four. The car was red, BTW. We did this just before a trip to California. Our car certainly got a lot of attention and I'm sure it was because of the hubcaps.
Here's Carol in the folk's living room with my cat, Satin-Patches KitKat. My next door neighbor and best friend had a cat that was nearly identical, same mother different litters. This is Carol getting all dolled up to be my flower girl in my wedding. After this, I moved to California and she grew up....
There has been a lot of water under the bridge since then, a lot of turbulent times. I don't know if there's anything else that I can say about her that might help locate her. She's artistic and inclined to be drawn to art shows and such. The picture below is one she drew of the Arizona state bird and was used on some promotional presentation for the art community (I think).

She worked in a kitchen for a while, I think it was with University of Arizona College of Medicine before she quit to go to the new job that ended up causing all the problems. I just really would like to hear from her.

Hello! Tucson, AZ

This is my sister Carol, she lives in Tucson, AZ. Or at least she did the last time I talked to her. Over the years she's had some rough breaks, made some wrong turns taking her down some dark roads. But a couple of years ago she started turning that all around and was starting to get her head above water where she could breath again. I think all the oxygen might have been making her a little light headed.Then a few months ago in the midst of a new stressful job, the lady she was working for blew smoke in her face. I won't go into the details but sis couldn't remain at the job under the circumstances. I'm not real sure what all happened after that because her phone wasn't working right and she's never been the best about keeping touch. The apartment she was staying in was connected to the job, Mom says the letter she sent there was returned. I'm really missing her and with the holidays here... Well, saying that, I have a request:

Do you live in Tucson? Do you know anyone that lives in Tucson? Could you take a look around, send out links to my post to locate her, and let her know her family loves her and really want to hear from her. I know it's a big city, but it's amazing how small the world is, six degrees of separation and all.

Thank You!
