Allyson, here's a Wired article on saving your iPhone texts: [link]

It's two years old, so I'd suggest having Kristen verify that it's all good still, but it sounds like backing them up and exporting them is pretty easy.

Of all the various thoughts I've been having since Monday night, the one I keep looping back to is worrying about you and how you're holding up, because I know your last year has been beyond rough. So, yeah, my email is always open, too.

It doesn't matter how long or how often you've been here. Once a Buffista, always a Buffista, and this is the place that Buffistas can dump things they can't anywhere else.

Allyson, we all wish we could help or could lessen your burden somehow. I can't imagine how rough this is on you and Kristen and Polgara and Burrell.

This just showed up in my FB feed and made me think of Allyson:

be softer with you.

you are a breathing thing.

a memory to someone.

a home to a life.

Same.

That's beautiful, Glam.

Oh Allyson. I can't imagine the horror of that. Much love to you.

Strix=Erin. Check! Howdy Erin! It's been so long I can't even remember who is who from the names I recognize. I will get there.

Happy birthday msbelle! You share a birthday with my mom and my daughter's best friend.

"I'd be dead without Buffistas and the nurse…humans aren't supposed to roll alone."

Could be on a poster.

Actually, reminds me of this poster.

Allyson, I can't imagine having to carry those memories with me, and I am so sorry you have to. You know we're here for you. You are doing the impossible, and that makes you mighty.

Allyson, you could always write it out and then delete if it feels too private. A minute later, an hour later... Doesn't matter.
