<p>Oh, viewer, I am sorry for your recent news. Virtual hugs to you. </p>
<p>Our S13 was accepted to his first choice. We feel lucky and grateful. I do not mention where he is going unless asked, and then try to redirect quickly to focus on some good thing in the asker’s life. Most people are happy when they hear his news; some are not. Oh well. It has taken a few good friends who have '13ers who did not get into their first choice several minutes to regroup and realize that they should at least be acting happy about our news. I have pretended not to notice in this situation and that has helped. Sometimes, people will be happy for you, but need a moment to be a little sorry for themselves first.</p>
