Dear T,
Your email reply this morning meant a lot to me (OK, it made me cry), after a mostly sleepless night. The validation was particularly helpful, feeling like you understand how difficult it can be when your kid is struggling. Wish we were talking before 1 pm tomorrow, but I'll be OK. I'm not in a state where I'd want to take you up on the offer of a call tonight. Really wanting to talk is not the same as needing to talk, and your email helped bridge the gap.
Love,
LT
