hi hippie lou,

i hope you don't mind that i replied to you now-- i feel like i should've gotten back to you earlier, so i feel a bit sad about that! but that's wonderful that you sent and wrote some post cards. they're definitely encouraging, for sure, since you wrote that you want to keep people company when they might be feeling lonely or in a bit of a personal haze.

i think discovering one of your postcards on a coffeeshop table, etc. would be great for someone who hasn't met you before! i'm not really feeling the postcard spinner idea, either..

it was awesome to see you and our mutual friend! yes, i thought our conversation was very rich-- i'm glad we were able to share those things as well, hippie lou! i've so appreciated your listening ear, encouragement, and understanding while i've shared my story with you. you've become a father-figure of sorts to me, which i appreciate so much as well!

i hope you enjoy your monday!
