For 4 to 5 solid months, Ms. Wonka didn't speak, communicate, send up smoke signals, or use tin phones to communicate with me at all. I kept things breezy and light for a while. Eventually her Berlin Wall started to came down ever so slightly and she sent me a Christmas card with a heart on a snow man with the words "cold on the outside, warm in the heart". That was a first from Ms. Wonka and that was over 10 years ago.
You CANNOT stay dark forever. There has to be some give and take. Yes, sending out occasional texts that are LIGHT and breezy in short words are good. And humor usually kills 'em.
