What a pleasant surprise to read yours, Jim! Of course, I remember you! I certainly did consider you a friend years ago and I still do, now. I appreciate so much your kind words. Wow, I have a fan! Maybe some day I’ll actually get a book published and can send you a copy! I was sorry to hear about your grandmother’s passing and your mother’s health. I do hope things go well for you in your life and that you are happy. I think it’s great you’ve gotten to do so much traveling. It’s kind of ironic---I feel that at this point in my life I don’t get to do that much, and so it’s funny to me that I inspired a wish to see the world. Now I’m the one who’s envious…take care, Jim, and thank you so much for your friendship!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231084362458618164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-26619514068986928722014-09-27T10:50:28.726-07:002014-09-27T10:50:28.726-07:00In addition, I thought I would make one more longe...In addition, I thought I would make one more longer comment. I know if you remember your first kindergarten book; you remember me�� I was a good friend, at least I always thought that in my own mind. A good listener, good hugger, good communicator. I kept in touch with you after S.U.U. via email when you were in grad school circa 1997, about a year before you were to marry.<br />I then literally fell of the face of the earth because of you. Well, let me explain what I mean. You had inspired me to travel. My linguistic anthropology background coupled with my yearning to learn about new languages and culture, led me on interesting journeys in America and abroad. It wasn't until 2004 that I finally set down roots permanently.<br />I fell short of my ultimate goal of becoming a college professor. I was completely exhausted mentally and physically. The doctorate degree would have taken almost six more years to complete!<br />Then, we had physical ailments in our family. I took care of my grandmother; she passed away. That was her home in Cedar City, where you had visited several times. Then my mother got diabetes and I have been trying to take care of her the best I can. So, that in a nutshell is a synopsis for the last sixteen years or so, oh how the time flies in a blink of the eye.<br />I always wanted to remain friends with you Rebecca. Obviously, with a family of your own I knew that would now <br />be impossible. That doesn't mean I ever stopped thinking about you. I always thought you were the kindest, sweetest, most compassionate and brilliant person I had ever met. Yes, I had a big time crush on you, but your blog taught me you must move on☺<br />So I have read your blogs for a few years never choosing to comment until now. I am extremely happy for you. You look very happy in your family photos. I guess instead of being a friend I have turned into your fan☺ I want your book to be published. I'm praying for you. I would love to buy as many copies as I could and have it signed by the author. Well this is your blog, not mine. I have expressed myself enough for one day. Take care Rebecca and God bless!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405238583004850748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-27154310021501628122014-09-22T15:15:19.004-07:002014-09-22T15:15:19.004-07:00Good luck rebecca!

I'm sure we will be seeing your novels on library and bookstore shelves in the near future. <br />Just an old friend here who enjoys reading your blogs.
