I would send a note and say something like this, "h, I'm very sorry to hear about your parents. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I'm glad they have you to assist them. I'm sorry to hear that you were laid low for three weeks with the swine flu. Hopefully you are feeling better now. Please take care of yourself. Merry Christmas."
Just respond back to those items he mentioned. I wouldn't bring up the papers at this time because he's got his hands full w/his parents. He'll get back to them after he sees his mother settled and recovering at home.
Merry Christmas and may the New Year be brighter for you!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
