I'd like a gold star for bravery, please.

I was just thinking about a number of friends of the family, whom I haven't spoken to in years, so I sent out a little flurry of emails sending them well wishes.

The problem is my mom stopped telling me about who has and hasn't died several years back, these are older friends, and I'm dreading that the emails will bounce.

Fingers crossed that the notes reach the recipients.
