Thank you jods. Very sensible. Hope it cheers Evie some.

Well Evie. Believe you are thinking unclearly. Know you are having your much needed rest right now, and I am going to rest as well, but beforehand wanted to give you these truths to consider for your return:

1. We were looking for YOU Evie, and you were running from US! Not the other way round. Always wanted you.

2. Other people your age who live on their own, have not had your experiences. Especially your recent health concerns. Must not compare yourself to them.

3. Colin is not ill. Gone to basic training, and is not on his own in the way your thinking. CAF is providing for his every need.

4. If wanting to be with family makes one a baby then yours truly is the biggest baby of all time Evie, and not ashamed of it either.

5. We would NOT be better off without you. On the contrary. Have you any idea how much grief you caused when you disappeared? Terrible. How do you figure running off again is going to make things better for us?

6. Your argument about Brian. Complete and utter nonsense. Not sure why you are so insistent about it, but stop it this instant, it is wrong and it is hurting you. Do not even allow yourself to think about it Evie. THAT IS AN ORDER.

Bottom line my dear, you are being negative, self-pitying and much too hard on yourself. Hope to hell by the time you read this things will have improved. We love you Evie, hate seeing you in this state.

Uncle Jim.
