Contacts, Please

Hi Everyone,

Just a very quick note to thank you all for the kind thoughts and wishes over this very difficult two months. I really appreciate the space to let me deal with the situation as needed. Most of the issues are now resolved or nearly there, so I look forward to resuming some more upbeat correspondence in the near future. But hopefully not on Facebook.

I've been rather delinquent in my updates of late, but have sent a reasonably detailed update to the designated relay persons. Unfortunately, at this point it doesn't look like Kyle will regain fine motor skills in his hands or lower extremities, but there are lots of ways we can adapt our lifestyle to make the situation work. We can still watch movies, Miss Saigon and the two greatest tv shows of all time (Bondi Rescue and Outrageous Fortune), so we'll be all right :)

I'm also in the process of updating my address book and creating one for Kyle, so I would appreciate an address / phone number / personal email update if I don't have the most recent one from you. If you changed flats, bought a house or relocated to the Cayman Islands since I did the last round in June 2010, please forward the new details when you get a chance. I will also accept pictures of adorable pets that have joined the family (or just cute pets in general).

If you joined the bandwagon and got married this year, I probably need at least an updated email address. Because I fear change, I'm going to continue using the pre-marriage name on future correspondence because I'm a little cranky and fear change. I think it's a small price to pay for you to enjoy your pillows / martini shakers / bathmats / bra bags that I sent as a gift since I couldn't attend the wedding.

Lots of love, and many many thanks. As Jane would say, I'll see you when I see you.

[Sorry - that was supposed to be quick]
