I really appreciate your honesty. And just so you know, I've never ever felt you were a burden. As it isn't hard to figure out I have my own issues but your honesty and your clarity about what you need makes it easy to reach out. The time we did have a miscommunication you dealt with it by explaining yourself a lot more clearly than I expected of you considering the pain you're in.

I haven't known you for that long but I know this is tougher for you than I can imagine.

No expectations, just hugs in whatever form works for you at the moment.
