Done. So I met him out front. He thanked me for letting him know about the mail, he appreciates it. He talked briefly about work. I told him good news about my daughter. He asked me to congratulate her. From there I intended to be bright & fun but, I asked how his family is and it turns out his favorite sister is hospitalized and extremely ill. She's having surgery tomorrow, but it looks grim. He said she's a good sister and it would hurt to lose her. I loved this sister too. She was always so good to me and made me feel like family. I was shocked and saddened by the news. And of course I had to cancel my bubbly flirtatious plan. I told him I'd be thinking of them and I would say prayers for her. I felt so badly to hear this news. He said he'd tell her I'm thinking about her, even though I didn't ask him to, in case that would be awkward for him. He scarcely looked at me. Afraid to look? I may send her a card. And I'll call him tomorrow night to see how things are with her. Wish he'd given me any other excuse to contact him but this. In spite of it, it was good to see him. A sight for sore eyes. He has a cold and he looks so tired and sad. I resisted the temptation to throw my arms around him. Can't say I was able to read his interest level. Well there was none. But he's sick and worried about his sis. I'd say the only possible indication that he cares was his inability to look at me.
