At least you know you don't need to apologize! It's not a failure when you're taking care of priorities. We'll be here when you're back. Love ya

I'll be here and looks like a lot of others will, too.

It's sort of ... weird? to think of oneself as part of an invisible family, but I do.

You take care of yourself, now and afterwards. I think the afterward part is unexpectedly the hardest to deal with -- after the cupcakes and casseroles have been eaten and the family and friends have gone home, and you're left at the kitchen table, still in possession of and possessed by the Awful Fact.

But your fans are here, and that includes me. Wish I could send a more tangible hug.
