D's party went WONDERFULLY! We had a blast! H called about an hour before coming over to let me know he was too sick. He kept apologizing for not being able to make it and kept saying how badly he wanted to be there. I was VERY kind to him, sounded happy the whole time, and just kept saying "don't worry about it", "just take care of yourself", "I understand you're upset" and "we'll take lots of pictures so it'll feel like you were there". I wasn't upset at all, it wasn't fake. I was understanding and know he's upset about it. I think I did good. (?)
