Truly I missed you on hive, i was so worried about you and I wish I had a way to reach you immediately. Thank God you are back.
I felt worried no seeing you write on hive, I could not imagine less how your parents felt not hearing from you for over a year. They is a saying "A mother's love holds no bond" i believed your mother was worried the most.
Jean is having a good time hunting with his dogs and becoming the favorite to his master among his companions. Leaving was good decision, let's just wait to know how his new ranger job goes.
