Hi margarita,
I still think about Teleka a lot. You know how some people are changed and inspired to live their life more each day? Teleka has done that for me. Some days it is a struggle, especially with my depression.
I still look for her while I'm out. I just got used to looking for her (I'm not far from one of the places where she could have been hiding).
It just breaks my heart that she went through so much. We need young, African American women to continue down the trail that hasn't been blazed for long (unfortunately). I wish she was still here and that by some miracle we could have helped her. In my fantasy land.
I think the hard part of letting go of this case is she was so darn close to finally getting help. I think with her case going public and the discoveries of her tweets she would have been forced to get help and could have lead a full and productive life. I guess it ended up being one episode too late.
