Dear MC,
I was just starting to type in here to apologize for texting you when you texted me back. Did you just happen to be sitting there staring at your phone? Or did you have an alarm set for "OK, LT has an IEP meeting tomorrow morning. She's freaking out and will probably text me in 3-2-1...[my text comes through]" So thanks. And I know you likely won't reply to my response but that's OK.

And, OK, I don't even know that you had to say anything about the IEP specifically. Just to know that you thought about me for a minute tonight--long enough to read what I said and reply--is maybe all I was really looking for. Just needed that brief connection to help me through. But I suspect you probably realized that...
Love you,
LT
