No communication with W through most of the day. Had one exchange of e-mails in the afternoon.
--W------------------------ Hi,
Not much to update but wanted to share a funny story…
D3 woke up asking for her “caterpillar” … she was so upset and made me get up to help her find it. I knew she had to be dreaming but wanted to support her, we looked in her bed and no signs… I asked her to go to sleep but she wanted to sleep with me because she was upset about missing her caterpillar. She started crying saying that her fairy must have taken it…. After a little while she calmed down and said, mommy, I think that the Dublin fairy will bring me one…. It was so sweet… it touched my heart. She then asked to play with my hair to make her feel better… after this of course it took me a while to go to sleep and then over-slept…
We are so lucky, we have the most beautiful pumpkins in the entire world (mom talking… )…
I hope you day is going well. W
PS Thanks for last night. You always have a way of making me feel better when I am depressed.

Hola,
I have been thinking of you and hoping you were feeling better. It sounds like you are in a better place. That is good.
The “Dublin” fairy? Do you know what that means? It must have been one heck of a dream. Did she fully wake up or was she doing this in a daze? Thank you for the story, I am smiling while imagining you helping her look under the bed for the caterpillar.
By the way, it isn’t just mom talking… dad agrees
I have been doing well, getting some work done. I hope things are going well for you as well. And no need to thank me for last night. I so enjoy the time I spend with you; always have. Your prayer was especially touching. You are such a strong woman. I hope we can do more praying together in the future.
Love, -Tristan
PS. Have you helped anyone today? (other than D3 and her caterpillar )

Never received a reply to the e-mail. But it was sent late enough in the day that she may not have received it.
I stopped by a friends place on the way home from work and then went for a short run/walk. I don't know what it is, but I just can't get into a good run like I used to. Its not that I get tired, I just don't have the mental focus to do it. I slow down to a walk and think about W, girls, God, prayer, life, family, you guys, etc. Working the muscles to the brink just doesn't seem as important anymore. Perhaps it will again someday. W always said she wanted to run a marathon with me. Hope I get the chance.
