Congrats on the new car, I'm glad that's happening for you. Hope you made it to your workout session too.
When people are faced with losses like that, they are so out of it in their own grief that it doesn't matter what you say -just that you are there and helping them. That's what they will remember. It was nice of you to cover for him at work.
Hope things keep getting better every day Carrie.
Cheers and enjoy that new car -very exciting!
