Dear T,

I really wish you'd told me sooner that you wouldn't have email access on your vacation. I realized this morning that it will be the longest I've been without email or text access in the 7+ years we've been working together. Even that one vacation where you thought you wouldn't have access, you texted to say you did have access after all. And the timing of the NYT article was just bad... At least you told me that you'd let me know if you had cancer or were going in for a major surgery. But wish you could have shared just a general idea of where you'd be going. Even if it was just like "a cruise somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean." (Guessing cruise with the lack of internet access, as you said you wouldn't be in the wilderness, and my FIL/SMIL are going on a cruise in a couple weeks where they told H they wouldn't have internet access.)

Glad I'll be seeing R a couple times, and she's someone I feel I can talk about this with, too.

Be safe.

I love you.
