I commend your ongoing mission in seeking out our friend and discover what has become of him. People come and go in our little world, but ones that make an important impact and then suddenly disappear, can be a bit disconcerting. Please try not to fret so much and not deny yourself the nightly sleep you need. I tend to believe that Tru had a sudden lifestyle change, but failed to let us know about it. Pure speculation!
TheMacMommy is to be commended on her love, caring, and sharing. Liana, listen to TheMacMommy's interview on Mac 20 Questions podcast, if you can. It's like a cool breeze and your favorite childhood blanket all in one. xoxo
