Stormy / Jennifer on Ponce
I wanted to tell those of you that knew her. She passed away recently. She will be missed. Yeah, she was a "just a junkie ho" - easy for some of you to think of as disposable. But as someone who knew her well, she was way more than that. But she was dealt a bad hand. Put out on the streets at 14 and forced to make her own way. The dope killed the pain, and ultimately killed her, and I am mourning. She really was an incredible person and had so much to offer the world beyond her body. In the years I knew her, I saw this, as did several others who held an improptu memorial gathering for her last weekend.
Please remember that these women you pick up out there on the streets have stories. We can enjoy their services and talents, but we can't stop thinking of them as people.
