Dear Dave,
Welcome home. Your short absence has made a big impression on many people. Not to beat around the bush any more, it was scary and we are glad you are back. Deep inside and unsaid by many, even you do not want to talk about it. We are glad you did not die.
In a very selfish way, I look forward to your writing about your experience. I like your writing and you cannot help but to be changed in some way by your experience. That, that does not kill us, only makes us stronger.
