He was ____12____ about my part. Feeling sorry for him, wrote back, “Kevin, I do love you, and you are loved in this family.”
He didn’t reply for a while, but I could hear him crying ____13____. Kevin ran out of paper, so he wrote “Thanks” on a paper cup. I wrote back “For what?” It was returned to me with the reply “____14____” written on it.
