I want to apologize for having to cancel our appointments last week. A close family member has cancer and I've been feeling melancholy this past week (rain not withstanding). I'm sure I'll feel better and back in the mood (and NO it's not all about money with me). If you don't feel well, you don't feel well.
Again my apologizes and I hope my behaviour does not deter you from wanting to see me in the future.

Hope you feel better. Believe in the marvels of modern medicine. Take care of yourself.
