Thanks Chef for the well wishes and for the offer, it's very kind of you.

I'll certainly be keeping it in mind, Jon likewise, I'm sure... I'm just not sure when we'll have a chance to use it though.

I don't wish to offend you, but right now, my focus is on spending time with my children. I'm sure you understand this, especially with their growth rate as it is, but I will keep your generous gift in mind.

Perhaps we can combine it with more of a special occasion, further down the line.

Sincerely,

Malcolm

Chef,

As usual, you are too kind. And with the perfect item, too.

No worries on not coming to see either Mal or myself...we are quite caught up with the twins, getting settled in, and acting like/thinking about/being a family.

It's a very new and unexpected for both of us, and while there have been times I've wanted to run screaming from the room, there are far more moments when all I want to do is look into the eyes of my son or daughter and never let them go, for fear of missing something essential.

Mal especially seems 'clingy', for lack of a better term. For a man who was worried about his parenting skills, he's turned out to have a real knack.

I am blessed. Truly.

It may be a while before we can think about anything beyond the next feeding, but I already have ideas for cashing in my reservation at Chez Chef.

You are the best, indeed.

Thank you,

Jon
