Ok, I'm think something with a LITTLE more validation of a few things she brought up. I want her to know she was heard. I think being TOO brief night make her think I didn't take all her vulnerability to heart.

Julia,
Thank you for this. I know you've had just as rough a time as me these last few months (probably worse), so it means a lot that you were able to reach out. Do NOT compare your pain to hers. Period.
You're right...I do have a lot of work to do, and your compassion and grace mean more to me than you know. I'm making a purposeful effort to understand just how this has affected you by talking to a numerous women who have been betrayed, do NOT mention talking to other women. Really.
and my work with Greg is STARTING paying off. But I know I have more to do.
My birthday was great, thanks. John and I drove a van with 5 teens all day Thurs and Fri to their conference in Oregon. Such a beautiful drive. So great to get some fresh air.
Best, E
