I will let you know i am not dead 🙂 yeap it' s been some newsletters i have not let you a comment but i am still enjoying reading your newsletters. I have to confess this one was high level at least for me. I have to reread it several times to be sure to fully grasp it.
I definitely share your fear. I am always worring about my daughter. What if she does not come back to home, meet a bad person, have an accident, does not answer my message and so on.. I think making up these worst case scenario just mean it is our own personal way to show affection for a dear person.
Have you started your first book's pages? I hope! Let me know.
Bonjour Stephane! It's lovely to hear from you as always. It must be particularly difficult to not worry about your child! Not having a kid myself, I really can't imagine how it feels. I already worry enough with my partner and parents.
As for the book, I have a couple of chapters written but have had no time to work on it this year. I've got a lot of feedback from beta readers (Katie is one of them!) to implement, but work has been crazy. I really should make time for the book though!
That's hilarious, but I can imagine how distressing it can be. With my SO I would wonder what's happening because he's usually very responsive, but I don't jump to negative conclusions first. With the rest of the world, I might have the opposite problem: if someone doesn't reply I tend to forget and let it go - like, if they are dead, I would be completely oblivious to it till I decide maybe it's time to chase them up and see if they are OK. I learned from my parents, who sometimes don't call me for weeks, despite the distance!
My parents I think are the polar opposite to yours! And I probably learnt from them. 🥹 Once I went to meet a friend in town and my dad was picking me up in the car. He called me when he arrived early at the mall (where I was having dinner with the friend) and I didn't pick up (I always have my phone on plane mode) and he freaked out. When I switched on my phone after my dinner, I had so many missed calls from him. I had to have a talk with him after about how I don't look at my phone when I'm in company and that there's nothing to worry about!
Thanks for sharing. I don’t automatically think of death as the explanation for everyone but when I am unable to get hold of Tawn, the worry crosses my mind that something has happened to him.

Thanks for sharing Chris! It's interesting how our mind always goes first to the worst case scenario doesn't it. I guess it means we deeply care.
