Bren, my dear, dear friend. I know how you are struggling at this time. The fact that you have been so incredibly supportive of me, despite your extreme anxieties, means the world.
Lishuishui, there is no confusion over Bren's comments or motives. Bren is a very special lady, she is a gifted human, who despite any feelings of upset she might feel towards another, who has behaved badly, she still cares deeply about that person's well-being. She has told me how worried she is about you, it doesn't mean she feels your comments towards me were acceptable, and she knows how distressed your attitude made me.
I don't feel I broke a promise. I did promise not to forget you, and I never will. I could not have visited the specialist with the physical health problems I had last month. It would not have been fair to him (let alone the strain it would have placed on me, and then the repercussions on my family) because I had an infectious condition. I hate to let anyone down, but with all the will in the world, there are circumstances that prevent us from doing what we say we will. Patience my friend is a virtue and I realize you are feeling desperate, most of us here are.
Maybe you have been let down a lot in your life. All along you did seem impatient and doubtful as to whether I would remember to help you.
Love, Tricia.
