Meg, I am sorry that you are having a tough time right now.

But you know what?

You are not alone in this. We are all here for you, and with you. Cry when you need to, but never forget there are people in this world who love you. Yes, you. Even if we haven't met in person yet, and even if we never do, that doesn't mean we are not friends.

We love you.

And I bet, as sad as you are feeling, you are still the shining light in your grandparents lives. And in your parents, too, though your mother may be too lost inside her own head, her own problems, and not see it right now.

We love you.

And Abby loves loves loves you. When you are feeling too sad, take her for a walk and watch everything she does. See if you can figure out what she's thinking - I guarantee that'll make you smile, okay?

Give her a tummy skritch for me, okay?

Sending you hugs!
