Dear MC,
I know yesterday was a holiday, so I don't know if you've even read my e-mail(s) yet. But if you could respond sometime in the next couple days, that'd be good.

It's not even like I need for you to tell me that what I said is OK. I think I just miss you and want the connection. And for you to know the stuff--unrelated to you--that I'm stressing about. Almost like by handing some of those worries off to you, I'm unburdening myself a bit. But I also want to know that the handoff has happened, i.e., that you've read them.

Love you,
LT
