I wrote this email to Beca, my sister, a while back, but for obvious reasons, I did not post it in this log when I wrote it. So, this is Ally in the future.  Real-time, the story is also a few weeks into the future. Robert has been really distracted as the game progressed and he has not kept up with the log, among other things. I also have my hands full with many new things, and men, but I am also committed to keeping this Journal going and filling in for Robert as he struggles to keep it together.  So, bear with us as we try to edit the rough draft of the journal and bring it back up to real-time. So, here is the email I wrote to Beca and her first response. I hoped this email would help things roll out a little smoother, but Robert’s rapid decline has not been helpful. I am curious to see how Beca’s presence will change our dynamics.
