[Magdalen] Near the end of my rope

[Ann Markle]

It is a privilege to walk this journey with you Jim, in your moments of
despair, as well as those few times of triumph, or at least satisfaction.
Please don't feel it's a burden, and if it offers you any measure of relief
or reassurance whatsoever, you should certainly continue.  Do know you
continue in my prayers, as well as those of my parish.  I'm glad you're
getting another respite in Hawaii.
