Don't hug me too much, or we might terrify the boy. Oh, I wanted to ask you- did Josh give you back your cheese grader? He borrowed it and said he'd return it by sunset, but I'm afraid he hasn't.
They're in good hands with their father. He's like a child himself but he has experience that he was willing to learn from. The kids are a little bit of a handful, but they mean well. They're grow up to be fine adults one day.
I... am actually working on a wind-song to carry messages, but I'm having trouble putting the heart of the location into each song. If only all the satellites hadn't collapsed. I'm surprised by how much technology is useless now.
Don't worry, we'll find her. I'm sure everything we're looking for is just waiting for us. A safe place, your sister, even whatever Josh is so tight about. We just have to keep looking.
... Hm.
Try focusing on the feelings you remember from being at home, whatever they were at their strongest.
It's annoyingly necessary that people move around. Location... Probably isn't that reliable these days.
...
B-but, I mean... Do what you think you should do, of course. It was... a-an idea.
In that case, I hope everyone is very patient. It's as if we've gotten nothing but distance lately—no progress. I cannot fathom how we have Internet, though. This is amazing.
Was... I wrong to leave? My husband and I debated who would go and who would stay with the children, and afterward we came to the conclusion that I had a better chance of finding a place for us to stay than he... But I've left my children without a mother- and I can't help but wonder if we did the wrong thing.
I... I'm not a mother, and I highly doubt I ever will be, but no. I don't think you were wrong in leaving. Your husband sounds like a responsible man—and who better to trust your family with? *Faint smile* Besides, somebody needs to keep us in line here. Your kids will grow up all the stronger for learning to stand on their own feet, and just think! When you go back, I bet they'll be able to look you in the eyes. (:
I don't like to think we're doing the wrong thing. Somebody might find it so, but... Hey. It's for the greater good of all of us. If we're going to rebuild a world, we'd best start small. Even with the three of us wandering aimlessly around a desert, there'll be an oasis somewhere! Unless we're in the wrong desert. We may not be making any actual progress, but I suppose surviving is a standstill victory. And maybe you're right. Everything is waiting.
It's... Ah, probably about time we stopped waiting, too, though. Neither shall go until the other has passed, and all. *Coughs* So, that's my speech.
Short answer: I have no idea what we'd do without you here. Probably kill each other, and not get anything done. So, uh. Yes.
... You're brave, Kit. It's a little bit intimidating at times, but man.
