		<description>Thank you, Lara. 

Condolences on the passing of your dad, too, especially under similar circumstances. I&#039;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&#039;ll be looking out for Drawn Into Darkness this fall.</description>

		<description>Kerri, I understand. There&#039;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&#039;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 &quot;pipe dream&quot;.  I&#039;m still plugging away but it is easy to get discouraged.</description>

		<description>Thanks, everybody!

I like to think there&#039;s a silver lining in at least a few of those dark clouds.  :smile:</description>
