Hello @Anastasia
Yes thank you @Anastasia . All ok. I would have responded sooner had I thought that I may have raised concern.
I remember telephoning my daughter some years ago. I wanted to tell her that I admired her and what she had accomplished. That was before our relatively recent, more positive connection. I realised that having said that to her "out of the blue", she had sounded somewhat concerned. It may have been so, or just my impression. Maybe, sometime further on, when she realised that I was ok, and had sincerely meant what I had said, she also realised that what I had said was, indeed, genuine admiration. It could have been viewed as something different at the time.
Sometimes, when something is said in a way that may sound too clear and sucinct, and also seems unusually brief , there may be a level of concern raised. I am able to say that I am quite safe. Thank you very much for checking with me. At times, I simply say, what I want to say, simply. Particularly when I wish to express my feelings about a situation without much embellishment, that I may think, would otherwise detract from the message.
I apologise if I might have raised concern for you and really appreciate your checking with me.
With My Best Wishes
