Sending you hugs. Big, bracing, Peterson-type hugs (ask any Pet Talker who has met me what that means, I am a Watts by name of course, but grew up a Peterson, and the hugs are unchanged.) We also come equipped with terrycloth shoulders - have a good cry, okay?

Now, okay, cried out?

Remember, dear heart, that worrying doesn't do much good. Assign each of your worries to either Oscar or Cole, and let them take care of that part.

The bad part about a large community is the more people you know, the more heartaches you find out about. But that's balanced by the good part - because you also get to share in a lot of joys as well.
