I'd been wondering what you two had been up to. I'm sorry that it didn't work out, and that some of your experiences were less than desirable. It's only natural that you would experience a case of the blues after such disappointment. I trust you will have a speedy mood recovery, and will soon be having another go at finding your way along.

I'll wager you have many tales with which to regale the grandchildren someday, marveling that you had such adventures in your youth.
