   It took a lot of self- restraint to not bug you during your time away. Hah.

I really, reeeeally hope your doing ok. I hope that your father is comfortable, that the rest of your family is doing as well as they can...

I hope you are taking care of yourself. Remember, you need to function as your own human first and foremost. Take the time to emote and feel things. Smile. Cry. Laugh and scream. Remember everything you feel is valid and ok, and you don't have to hide it, especially around me. 

Remember that you are tough and strong. You're a caring, kind, very compassionate person. Everyone has your back. Remind yourself that you are awesome and,"without me, it'd just be aweso."

You got this. I believe in you, because you believe in me. And penguins believe in you too.  I've... Oddly? Missed you the past 2 weeks& despite the reason for this week's visit, look forward to seeing you again and getting a patented "Katie hug"if that's allowable. They say that a hug can cure a lot, so let's see.
