I must have cried for every single message wishing me well. Human beings get a bad rep on the news….there is so much good in us too, which is evident through 36 messages left since I left an author's note saying I was sick. I'm some author no one really knows, who writes a story in hopes of some reviews, and I've had such a pleasure doing it for such caring people. In order from first to last, here are my individualized, personalized, thank yous……..
Rachel- Thank you so much for your kind words and your understanding!
Tears of Telperion- I love your alias/name. Thank you, and I'm sorry to know that another person has gone through the nightmare that is illness. I'm glad we both pulled through though!AM- Thank you very much, and God bless you as well.
Gionareth- What a beautiful alias! Thank you! I really appreciated that. :) You were all in my prayers as well!

Taraisilwen- You're right, it's not fun being sick. :( Yep! I wrote that story called "The Long Road Back to Evenstar" It hasn't been abandoned, but I hit writer's bloc—no, writer's avalanche several months ago. Eventually I'll get back to it! I promise! Thanks again!

A final shoutout goes to my dear friend ME132. Not only has she been with me since chapter 5, but she was the main one I looked to for confidence when I thought this story was going down the drain. Kayleigh, you're #1 on my list of best friends that I've never met! Love ya girl! I dedicate the rest of this story, that you have shown me through threats where you were half-way teasing, email, countless reviews, and invitations to join prestigious groups that you love this story, I DEDICATE ALL THE REST OF IT TO YOU!!
