A mutual friend of ours had to have a similar conversation, in a similar situation. I felt for them, I feel for you. I can't imagine the shock and pain learning something like this would cause, in addition to everything else you've been through. Well, I can imagine, just can't know.

There's an expression in Twi, the lingua franca of Ghana, KosE (koh-say), that roughly translate to "I didn't cause your pain, but I am sorry you are going through it." We don't really have anything related in English, so I say KosE, for all of your painful experiences. I have been thinking of you and your family.

FWIW, we're not close but I'm really proud of you for setting strong boundaries.

"I am the strong, capable, hard-working, honorable, and kind man that years of proof have shown me to be"

A very true and poignant description of you. I believe it, and always have, and you should never ever doubt it.

This sounds like an awful and frustratingly repeated occurrence, and I hope that it never happens again.

Had you in my thoughts yesterday.

Love and support,

I'm so sorry. I'm sure this was inevitable, but I wish you hadn't had to do it so soon after losing Reesa.

That is...horrifying. I am so sorry.

I am sorry for your pain, Nathan, that you and she had to go thru that. You did the right thing, by sending that letter.
Always love.
