That was yet another wonderful read @zipporah, you have a way of making words dance to emotional tunes :-) And such delightful exercises in verbal wizardry are easily sufficient to keep us dazzled for a whole, maybe even two whole weeks, so you go right ahead and spend some quality me-time.

In fact I insist you do that. It's not your quantity that enchants us, it's your quality. Anything worthwhile takes time, effort, care and love; so set aside enough of those for yourself. We'll be here waiting with open arms until you return. <3 :-)
