and then, too

Hi Janet,

Thank you for joining us today all the way over on [our] Street. Its great to be able to have you have some time with the volunteers, who don't get as much of a chance to get to know you as we do. (woah did that sentence make sense?) Thanks so much for taking time out of your sunday to come join us. Afterwards a few people stuck around to help clean up a little and they told us that they appreciated what you said.
thanks, and we hope you had a nice mom visit afterwards!
love
[he] and [she]

yes, please and thank you very much.
it was a very good meeting. they are lovely young people. they cooked for one another, they spoke caringly yet not cloyingly to one another. they listened. they were engaged. a small good thing. a spark, an ember to support. to let breathe.
