DB,

Julia,

Thank you for this. It's really courageous that you were able to reach out after the rough time you've had.

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. But I know I have a lot more work to do.

My birthday was peaceful, 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


This is a much better one...wouldn't you agree?! smile It is good to go.
