I was out today pushing some limits. Just got home to your email. Thanks!

To be clear, when I said I wished there wasn't so much pain I meant in your life, not in your emails.

You're creative in a lot of areas, and loving. And, I like all the kitchens in your dream house.

I've done some volunteer tutoring, too, mostly English and ESL. Also knitting and crocheting, for friends. I love trying to figure how the other person thinks and adapting to them.

Your mother does seem difficult. You're right, this is the last thing you need.

I hope things are going well.
