Author's Note

I apologize for the long wait...this past month has been horrible for me and my family...and if anyone on this site prays...I beg you to please pray for my family, friends, and even my puppy...

3 weeks ago they found a tumor in my Dad's throat, he had surgery and he was able to keep his voice and swallow normally, praise God! But he is still in recovery and has now developed sleep apnea, so literly he cannot get enough REM sleep for oxygen to fill his brain at night.

2 weeks ago my 20 year old cat died in her sleep...I miss her so much...since she was NEVER a brat or snob...but a good kind childhood friend whom I will always love and miss every night... :'(

1 week ago one of my best friends had to go in for emergency surgery and I stayed with her for 3 of her week long nights at the hospital to help and help her when she was in great pain and sadness.

What happened 4 days ago still brings tears to my eyes...my puppy was taken away by a stranger while I was at work... :'( They took off her license tags and everything...I've been filing reports, calling shelters, and posting signs all day and still have heard nothing back from anyone...

I'm now behind on my work, sleep, and might be getting sick again...but lately I have been very depressed and tired...

Thank you very much for your comments and concerns, and when I have a better day I'll finish editing the latest two chapters (yes I have enough work saved for two new chapters, but they need some work). I'll post them when I can before the other short stories because this one has not only become very dear and fun for the readers but also a lot of joy for me since this was my first long Sess/Rin fanfic...

Thank you very much again for the support and honesty, and I promise to upload the next chapter or two before the end of Oct.

Love you all very much and God bless!
