Things Brendan would say and do: 
My name is Brendan, I'm happy to greet you, is it too early? 
I'm on my way and I want to see you, how about tomorrow or should I come over now, or no?
I can help you but I have no way of reaching you.
I'm telling you to be safe.
I like the way you made a gift, I like to give gifts too. I'm sorry I missed your call, can I call you later? My belongings getting moved around I can't find your gift I have.
I'll ask if you can see me today, I'm grateful for all you have given to me, and it's ok if you can't see me today.
I want you to be happy when you see me today.
Why are we here? We're not supposed to be here today.
The end.
