I can’t say why, and _please_ don’t e-mail her at this time to ask why, but _please_ just keep her in your happy thoughts right now.

Of course, Euty. She’s there, along with the hopes of whatever is wrong rights itself quickly. (And a hug or two if she needs them)

The Great Benevolent Lady is troubled? Sweet Providence forbid!

Hearken, O Glorious Mistress! Your humble knight-errant stands stoic and ready, willing to battle whatever is causing you distress, be it entity of body, mind, or spirit.

But should fickle nature cause you to, of necessity, face this hour alone, I shall stand a lonely vigil, silently and constantly beseeching the heavens that you be delivered from your darkness.

Until such time I remain, as always, your servant:

Tygr

Ok, I have happy thoughts for her.

But I notice you don’t ask for prayers. Does that mean it’s really good news and you just don’t want to jinx it? Like expecting an engagement to be announced or a adoption being finalized? (I don’t know anything about her.)

Because I would have prayers if it were bad news.

Well, I for one don’t know what to think. But she’s certainly in my thoughts. She was the first person to really talk to me from here, and I consider here a dear friend and an absolute angel. And I sure hope to hear from her soon, or at least glean some information to set my heavy heart at ease.

((((((((( **Persephone** )))))))))

I’ll definitely be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. All of my Happy Thoughts are being sent your way – I hope that whatever’s going on right now turns out for the best.

Thanks for giving us a place to send good wishes, **Euty**. I have to give you a hug now, too, if you don’t mind. ((((((((( **Euty** )))))))))
