Betsey,

Your letter really touches me. I especially like the tone of the letter. You sound so calm and self-assured. You also demonstrate your willingness to own your contribution to the situation and make it easier for him to imagine returning without fear.

Your closing requests for him to "write us an ending" and "write us a beginning" WOW...When the time comes...I may just "borrow" that!
Knowing that you have been at this for 16 months has given me a lot to consider. I really thought that I had perhaps reached the end here at 5 months. Now I see how impatient I have become.

Please let us all know the outcome. I am sending good thoughts and prayers in your direction.
