There's this book on the shelf below the record player in my parents' house. It's part of a Time/Life series* and this one's on animal behaviour. One of the pictures shows a chimp reaching out to touch the back of another chimp. It's simply labelled, "Comfort." 30 years after reading it, there are still times when I can't think of anything to say when I heard stories like this so, if I can, *reaches out and puts his hand on your back*

Ook.

* Ask your parents, kids.
