Oh, I'm okay with managing the elephant. It's just asking, "How are you?" seems a little inadequate when I have some idea of what's going on. :)

I'm glad to hear that you're doing okay, given everything, and I don't blame you for not wanting to write a post. And I would hope that everyone else is perfectly fine with that, too, even with a genuine concern for the well-being of both of you. As you say, you have included us to a great degree in your lives, so we're kind of a part of them. :)

Regardless, there's nothing wrong, for any reason whatsoever, for not writing an update, and don't feel like you have to do one just because I mentioned it. I see you pop on discord here and there, so I know you're still around, and while I wish nothing but the best for you and Brian, I also know that some wishes don't get fulfilled until the next life. So, we keep on keeping on until then, right? :)
