Ansgar's comment goes right to the heart of our discussion with Julie where we went back and forth between, 'Just show up and say it... Say it early and leave more time for fun.' and then the many ways in which we are careful (full of caring) in our speech with a view to avoid harm and to reconcile....Why should truth hold the possibility of reconciliation?
