A Sincere Thank You

[przed]

I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who left comments about the death of my father. It meant a lot to me and helped give me the strength to get through the funeral yesterday.

I'm still up north and borrowing a cousin's computer, so I won't be able to respond to you all individually until next week, but I did want to tell you all I'm thinking about you.

I'm on vacation so I just saw this.

Just want to add my condolences to everyone else's.

It's hard to lose a parent. I still think of my father all the time.

Thanks. That means a lot. I know when you were going through everything with your dad, I couldn't help thinking of mine all the time.

I know I'll think of my father often as well.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I know what it's like to lose a parent.

I'm trying to find your charity of choice to make a donation in his honour, but your local newspaper doesn't seem to be online at this point. Can you give me the info?

In other news, congrats on the story sale.

Thanks, Gina. That means a lot.

The charity my mom picked was the Lung Association. (I think the local paper is called the North Star Beacon these days, but if they have a website it's likely a rudimentary one.)

We totally have to get together once I'm back in town.

Sorry to bother you again but I need your dad's first name.

It's Karlis.

Do you need my mom's address?

Thanks. The acknowledgment card goes to your household.

Mom's address is:

112 Gibson St., Parry Sound, ON, P2A 1X5

No, sorry. I wasn't clear. The acknowledgment card goes to you and your household here in Toronto.

I knew it was a fifty-fifty shot as to what you meant, and I'd get it wrong.

At any rate, thanks for thinking of us at the time. It definitely means a lot.

I am sorry to hear about your loss, too.

I apologize for intruding like this, but I'm the MFU reccer for the month at crack_van and just wanted to say that I loved your story "Los Vivos y Los Muertos" so much (I swear the timing was completely coincidental) that I just wrote a rec for it here (http://community.livejournal.com/crack_van/3254732.html#comments).

Thank you.

And while I'm afraid my squee is a bit gone at the moment, I did want to thank you for reccing Los Vivos. It's a story that means a lot to me and I'm always pleased to here that someone likes it.
