Cj, I am so incredibly sorry about Ralph. She was the most beautiful, sweet, and reliable dog I have ever met (and, though I probably shouldn’t say, my absolute favorite dog ever – which is saying something, as you know my feelings towards dogs in general!). Though a bit belated, I do (and will continue to) give my love and support for you and your mom.

And again, I am so sorry for not responding to this sooner. I love you, despite distance (physically and friendship-wise) and drifting and everything, and I will take this to remember to be better about keeping in touch. Hope everything else is okay otherwise, and as I said, I love you!
