Thanks as always for the encouragement. W sent some of the money she owed for S's upkeep but left various issues unanswered. I waited until today and sent her an email thanking for her contribution and saying that I assumed that she hadn't had time to deal with the rest of the issues as she had been rushing to meet S for lunch. In the email I reminded her of our previous agreements, copying in earlier emails. I finished by saying: The one thing you can always be sure of with me is my total honesty and my kindness towards you. I think I have shown it enough times for you to know that to be true. I hope that everything is going well for you and take care of yourself. The reply I got back blindsided me I know you are the best and kindest person in the world, I would like to see you sometime, is it too painful for you? She makes no mention of the financial figures because she knows them to true, all she wants is to arrange a meeting. I haven't replied yet as I don't want to rush in emotionally.
