Had an almost three hour phone conversation with S tonight. We talked about $EMPLOYER and # stuff, about security background investigations (because most of the people from work that I'm in regular contact with have recently had them), and about personal stuff--health, career, family--and future plans.

Her dad and one of her brothers are in post # recovery. Another brother had another respiratory disease and is slowly recovering. One brother's divorce recently finalized and he's moving out of state to get away from his ex.

She didn't say anything about her kid tonight (I know he's in his middle or late 20s and lives halfway across the country, but he's still a kid in my eyes.)
