Weasel-
Know that the family and I are praying hard, for you, your team, your sherpas, and those lost. The girls ask about you all the time, Charlee Bear being the most concerned. She knows you’re strong and a little bit crazy, which she understands is what drives your focus and safety. We love you and are keeping a close watch. Stay safe Wease, we need further discussion on your inner arm.
Keep trucking RMI, you’re going to do great. Love you- Weda
