Ben,

The past few months have hardly felt real. I feel as though I've just turned my calendar from January to February, and now it's already May. My friends say having children will do that. Elliot's especially in that age where he seems to grow a shoe size every month and an inch taller every time I glance at him. I thought toddlers were a handful, but now he runs and hops and tells me I'm mean when I demand he eats his peas.

What I mean to say by all that is that I'm here if you ever need to talk. I know life can be overwhelming—I've been through my fair share of it myself recently. And I can't imagine makes the stress any easier.

Sincerely,
Dio
