Dear T,
I hope that email helps and you're not mad at me for mentioning that. It would be great if you could reply tonight, but tomorrow morning is OK. I think not feeling well messed with my filter.
I also wonder if whether part of what was hard for me was your talking about similar experiences with your son with gifts when I was talking about my D. And talking about stuff like that made it feel more friend-like. So then the money just felt more jarring.... But I can't mention that to you.
Love,
LT
