Dearest Jodie: What a sad and wrenching weekend, my dear. On Saturday morning you were so tired and sadly vacant for our visit (because of the terrible start with you being upset by the way a guard was treating me, and the unexpected photos when you were not dressed up or ready for them) that it had me reeling with sadness for the remainder of the day.

Oh dear, my sweet Jodie, I feel wobbly today. I've a sore throat, a woozy head and a stuffy nose. I'm drinking hot liquids and lots of water, getting sleep, but these next few days will be trying.
