Mira,

I don't know what to say. I'm glad Rollie is back. I'm sorry he's hurt. I hope he'll be okay. I'm especially sorry about how his father hurt him. I don't understand how Dingo could do that to Rollie either. Leo once told me that Dingo was like a little kid that couldn't see the consequences of his actions. I guess he was right. Because if Dingo had any concept about consequences, he never would have done it!

All we can do now Mira, is be here for him. Kind of hard to do long distance. I wish I could give Rollie a hug and tell him that Sarah, the girls and I love him. He's going to have a hard time, so we'll have to be patient and understanding. Sarah says Rollie will probably try and shove us away. We'll have to take that into account with any of his actions or anything he says. We'll need to be careful too. I wish this hadn't happened. I sometimes wonder... It's like that question they ask so much - Why do bad things happen to good people? Rollie isn't just good people. He's the best! He's strong too, but he'll need help with this. I'm glad if he did reach out to Angie. They'll take care of each other, if they let themselves. (Does that make sense?)

Any word on his leg? It sounds bad. I hope there's not any permanent damage. We're praying for him.

Francis

P.S. If you decide to take  a swing at Dingo, give him one from me... and Leo.

P.P.S. Just remembered, Leo also said that no matter what Dingo does, Rollie always forgives him and loves him dearly. I don't want to hurt Rollie anymore than he already is, so forget the swing - take your cue from him. Okay?

P.P.S. The girls want to send Rollie something. I don't know what to tell them. Any ideas? Check with Angie and Mangela.
