Dear T,
Miss you already... I do wish you'd at least have said if you were flying or driving or...something else. You seemed to give me a look when I asked the question, when you seemed willing to share the last few times at least your mode of travel. I mean, if you're flying, you could be going to one of like 1,000 places, so it's not like I'd have any idea where... I wish we had the sort of relationship where you could just send me an email like "Arrived safely."

I really do hope you feel better soon. It's difficult because if this were a normal week, I'd be seeing you Monday, so would know if you were feeling better then. But I feel weird emailing you, say, Monday asking how you're doing. Like, I'd rather try to hold out as long as I can. And I see third-string T Monday and Wednesday. Maybe I can at least try to make it through then? Though, like I said, I'd rather not be like, "I'm going to try not to email," because then if I do, I've failed. I want to think: "If I email you, that's OK." You said you trust that I'll try other things first, how I've been doing that lately, which was good to hear that you'd recognized.

Also, it helped that you said how being "just LT" should be enough for people. That I don't need to be giving them some other thing (well, I guess I have to give you money!)

Feel better and safe travels.
Love you,
LT
