I would absolutely say yes to a student who asked this.
I have done. (Our students pay per semester rather than per class, so it ends up somewhere between auditing and sitting in.) I was really pleased to be asked, and students who take that much initiative are usually the best attenders. I've also asked to do this a few times, and never been turned down.
Thoughts for your cousin's wife, Maria.
Maria, I totally thought I posted something, but apparently that only happened in my head. Tons of ~ma for your cousin's wife and so many good thoughts headed your way.
What sj said, mucho ~ma.
And sorry we made you feel marcied.
Thanks, everyone. Today has been a day, and I'm just a bit vulnerable.
Sorry for always turning it back to me.
Maria, there is really no need to apologize. We're here for you.
Maria,
well hell, I need to check Beep Me!
'ma vibes for you and your cousin's wife!
{{{Maria}}} Also, ~ma to your cousin and his wife.
{{{Maria}}}
Specific and general ~ma to you and your family. I can completely understand that you'd be feeling vulnerable right now.

I am also sj. Amazing what I can forget to post in the time it takes me to change threads. Lots of ~ma and love and healing to her and your whole family.
And now I mememe:
I've had a headache all day, my right knee doesn't want to bend, and as a result of the latter I nearly got run down by some asshole in a giant SUV who thought I wasn't crossing fast enough. Bite me, Monday.
{{Maria}} So much ~ma to your cousin and your family.
eta: How can my brain use the correct version of your the first time and the totally wrong one the next? Swiss cheese, I swear.
OMG YOU GUYZ HAI. My day just got better. You may remember this choice quote... [link]
