Overeating? I wonder if they really had a heart attack or something that couldn’t have been diagnosed then? The falling tortoise is a cool story.

Please let us know about Cricket. Both of you make a huge difference in Suji’s life, so Cricket would be lucky to have you two. When you inquire about Cricket’s eyes, ask them about her history of ocular prolapses. There might be a history of those and it can reoccur.
