I never have any words to say to you except, I love you. I welcome whatever you are, whatever you have, whatever you can do.

[e_bourne]

I just want to hug you, Elizabeth. And make you kalua pork. (I honestly haven't forgotten.) We'll figure something out that will fit in your quart-sized jar.

I'm very glad that you made it to this milestone. I wish you such comfort and healing.

Thanks. We will get around to that kalua pork, I swear we will. :)
