[Thespiritexpress] Sending love

[Cynthia Coupe]

This hits me deeply and I wrap you both (actually all 3, your daughter too)
in a loving warm embrace. I am grateful Charles can voice his wishes and
you can hear them, even as deep and painful as this eventual separation is,
with the legal matters and choices needing to be made, it’s an unfair ask
during this process. I am grateful for the love that has sustained you two
for all these years and for the daughter you have.  I pray for the best
outcome, whatever that is.

Sending love,

Cynthia
