Hello. Firstly i have to say your pictures are lovely.
Secondly, from your write up i couldn't agree less that checking up on people is a very important activity we should make out time for..regardless of how busy we may be.
A case comes to mind of a very close friend that was battling depression to the point of considering suicide until fortunately i checked on him and then he opened up to me and the matter was resolved. Thank you for reminding us of this very important duty to ourselves.
