Dear MC,
Thanks for your caring response. Yeah, I did dump an awful lot on you in that e-mail--sorry about that. It's just how my brain works, which you've surely figured out by now. When you started mentioning T in the e-mail, I was expecting you to say that this is something I need to work on with her, not you. Or that I needed to be telling H, not you (of course I already did tell him most of it--and T, too). But you kept yourself in the equation of helping me, with that whole "you/[T]/we" thing you repeated a few times in the e-mail. And that means a lot to me. Thanks for being there.
Love you,
LT
