It is a heck of a lot to carry sweetheart, I know. But you're a strong, wonderful, and independent woman because of it all, whether you feel that way or not. But you are right, this is a place for second chances. And you should both make the most of it, because I want you to be as happy as possible here.
I will always be here for you honey, always. And I'm always with you back home, even if it's not in person.
Sounds good to me! Anything in particular you'd like to make?
