		<description>Thank you, Lara. 

Condolences on the passing of your dad, too, especially under similar circumstances. I'm sure you have many great memories of him.</description>

		<description>My condolences on the loss of your father. Cancer took my dad ten years ago. He too was called home from a trip because of tests, and died on September 24 of that year. 

I love that your dad got to share in the excitement of your win. He must of been very proud of you!

Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your success! I'll be looking out for Drawn Into Darkness this fall.</description>

		<description>Kerri, I understand. There's very little real feedback in the beginning and it can be hard to keep your chin up. But keep going!

The road to publication is bumpy and you'll end with a few bruises along the way, but sticking with it is very worthwhile, believe me!</description>

		<description>That is a beautiful and encouraging story.  I know the feeling of getting published just being a "pipe dream".  I'm still plugging away but it is easy to get discouraged.</description>

		<description>Thanks, everybody!

I like to think there's a silver lining in at least a few of those dark clouds.  :smile:</description>
