Hang around them all day, and they give you hugs, and kisses, and peanut butter sandwiches (partially used), and boxes of tissues (ditto). Teach them well, and they learn to share.

Quilly’s got a doozy. She’s up, but I don’t know why, or for how long. Drop by if you would and send her some chicken soup. Just be careful how you send it, if it gets on her laptop’s keyboard, it’ll create issues. And she’s already had enough issues with that laptop.

Get better, hon.
