Love you all.

Did you mean "doucement?"

I agree that the source is probably "douce", meaning gentle, soft, sweet, etc. "douce moi" could be just a colloquialism; "sweet me", meaning, as you said, "I'm sorry". It probably wouldn't be too hard to find out!

Or, it could simply be "Doucement," meaning "Gently," or "Patiently," or "Sweetly." Sounds a little like Walter Payton!

Hi Annie- I hope that you are enjoying your time in Benin. I thought I had lost the link to this journal, but then I remembered I actually did have it all along. Sounds like things are really coming along. Hope everything is well by you and I hope to hear from you soon!! MISS YOU!
