I want to thank my huge, 100(?)-member family and my close friends for all of your outpouring of love and support. Since my email and voicemail accounts have been overwhelmed, I haven’t been able to get back to all of you individually. I’m a pretty private person and don’t like to blow things up, but since Rindy spread the word without my consent, here is the full story:

Hello Gia, I don’t know if you’ll remember me, but you used to be my editor. I wanted you to know that I read your blog and my heart and prayers go out to you. All the best of luck with this and I will never forget how you were instrumental in giving me a start. I’ll always have fond memories of you for this. I hope your surgery goes better than expected and that you’ll overcome this trial. I keep praying for you.

Hi Judith,
Of course! I remember every writer I’ve published, as you have all been instrumental in my career and success. Thanks for your lovely comments. I appreciate them more than I can express.

Hello Gia!
I’m so glad you had surgery and I continue to keep you in my prayers. I also wanted to let you know how you were instrumental in my learning how to never give up on life or on writing as a career, too. I continue to write and look forward to what lies beyond the bend in the road. I’m so glad you commented back and had your surgery. Continued health to you, too!
