Wherever and whenever you are, your girl misses you. Very much.

You get him anything?

[_fredless]

I'd like to think so, somewhere and somehow?

Here I'm just thinking of him.

[eatshootsnleves]

It's a nice thought.

Bet he's thinking of you too.

[_fredless]

He's always worrying about some thing or the other. More than he thinks I know.

I'm sure he appreciates the sentiments, Fred.

[_fredless]

Hopefully the me that is there remembered to call him fist thing thins morning, right after his coffee.

[paidthepryce]

...I'm sure she did.

[Assuming it was before...]

[_fredless]

I don't want to have to be irritated at myself.

[drugged_chai]

I hope you don't mind me commenting but....that was a lovely message.

[_fredless]

I never could mind a comment like that. Being away from family is hard.

[drugged_chai]

Yes, it certainly is. My mother is back home in India, hopefully she is utterly unaware of my presence here. My own father was taken from me five years ago. I fear my last words to him were not quite so loving as yours are today.

[_fredless]

Family's a hard, hard thing. I was...lost. For a long time? And when I first came back I wanted to pretend my family wasn't there anymore. I tried to hide from them.

I'm sorry about your dad.

[spongetastic]

[aw Fred you're so cute] You must be close.

[_fredless]

[and so generally unaware of it]

Really close. I'm his only girl. He took it hard when I left for L.A. I try and call as much as I can.

...or tried?

[bodilesswarrior]

[softly] I'm sure he knows.

...Sorry. I can't - stop myself from responding to things.

[_fredless]

I like to think so.

And that's ok. There is nothing to apologize for.
