stream of consciousness exercise: 15 minutes

I got a letter from him last night, and he told me he was crying. Has some other person told me that, it would have been a comfort situation, with a hug and some tea and coffeecake before bed, but a hug can't span thousands of miles and I really don't know how to make coffeecake, although tea is doable. Maybe he can make himself some tea, and I could share with him the magical healing properties of ice cream (something girls have know for years), and then, by virtue of the phone line, I could share my confidence with him. He always seemed so confident to me that I'm amazed at one crack in his armor. I think I like it better with the cracks.
