Courtney, I know we've been in touch about this, but I just want to reiterate that I will save your spot for as long as you are gone. You will be the first person that I call as soon as you are back in town.

I know how hard this is, but it is so special that you are able to be there for Ben's dad--and for Ben.

Also, when it really comes down to what matters in life, it's family and friends and NOT work.

You know you can call me if you need absolutely anything. I'm going to miss you when you are in Denver!
