Hi Cristy,

Only just seeing your reply as I've come back to update. I left it until yesterday to send the email.

I have not contacted him since the middle of August. I have been concerned as it was announced on the news over two weeks ago that his company were laying off 900 and I fully expect him to be one of them. This would impact on the mortgage so I've been really worried.

I just put on the subject line 'hope you're ok' just that, no content at all. I thought it would open the door a little if he needed to tell me if he was being made redundant.

He has just replied 'Hi W, yes I think so, how are you'. I'm so relieved that was all he said

Shall I answer (in a few days) that I'm ok or just leave it at that?

I'm trying to be the lighthouse.
