They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Oh, Sue, I'm so sorry. That's too much. And what Sparky said -- if we can do anything from where we are, please just shout. Much love to you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, Sue, how awful. I'm so sorry. Practical details sounds like the way to go for the moment. Try to get some rest.

I also want to share a hearty UGH with Burrell, and send strength to Scrappy, because the littles are a lot, especially when they don't know you well.

Oh, Sue! I don't even know what to say. All the love and strength to you, and if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

So sorry, Sue. That's so much to happen all at once.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm so sorry, Sue.

Sue, I'm so sorry! Sending lots of love and good thoughts. I hope you were able to get some rest last night.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, Sue. I'm so sorry.
