Earlier today, Wednesday, I had a very bad incident.
Pat,
I'm sorry to hear you're hurting so much: please don't hesitate to write if you need help moderating the digest or with other chores.
Please try to remember that there's always hope: better to take a risk than to give up. You've got more time than you may think at this dark hour.
Good luck.
Signed, a Friend

Pat,
Welcome back! I hope your recovery goes well, and quickly.
Please don't hesitate to ask if you need help with the digest or other projects: it's time to be nice to yourself and take it easy for a while.
