Dear T,
I know you were uncertain about the photos thing, but I think it went well. I still feel OK, even good about it. And I think you got some insight into a few things, even just seeing my parents' house.

It felt nice that I wasn't crying for once when saying good-bye before a vacation. Or fighting back tears. I meant it when I said I hoped you had a relaxing time (and that you'd have safe travels!)

I mean, maybe sometime before a week from Monday, I'll check in to make sure you're alive, if I'm starting to worry for some reason (and I still wish you'd give me some inkling of where you're going...). And of course if some major outside life thing happens, I might send a more substantive email.

But I'll do my best to just hold onto the fairly connected, OK feeling from today.

Travel safely.
Love,

LT
