Private Message to Sarah Yaxley

I know your mother wanted to be left alone with you and Martha right then, and that's fine. We just wanted to see you home and be sure she was there so you could tell her.

And we're just a firecall or a message away now. You know that. I can come at any time--don't worry at all if it's late. I don't expect any of us will sleep.

Oh, Sar. I'm sorry. He was   I know it's been hard ever since Ireland. He never did properly recover. And you and your mother have done everything you could. Really, you have.

I've honestly no idea what I can say that won't sound useless, so I'm going to stop, but I want you to let me know when you need someone to come just be there with you. I'll be there in an instant.
