Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry it didn't go as planned. But this too shall pass. And here, look, I've sent you THE PHOTO. It should make you feel better.

Our patio furniture is hideous, mainly because we never use it. The cushions are ruined, I don't want to know is living in the umbrella, and the hammock is probably so rotten I 1) don't want to touch it and 2) if I did, it would fall apart as soon as my big ass put any weight into it.

It's okay, though. You are still loved and everyone appreciated your flexibility. Trust me, they did.
