Kelli, All my love to you. Your bittersweet portrait has made me weep for your mom and dad even though I never met them and for the sadness you’re feeling. Wishes of warm sunshine on your face, deep laughter and good will of friends surrounding you, and the well-deserved satisfaction from your work–not the same as mom and dad, but what life has to offer when we’re down.

Thank you, sweetheart. I hope you and your hubby are well, and that we get to see you up here or in LA soon.

Thank you so much, Maura! And I hope I finally get to thank you in person next time I’m in Humboldt (which will be next month).

Thanks so much for the kind words, Jenny! Loss is the toughest thing to handle in life, and the pain is always in proportion to the love. It’s the price we pay–and still worth every second.

Judy, my dear friend, thank you so much. Words seem like clumsy instruments when it comes to my parents–and really, any deep emotion. Thanks for reading and being such a stalwart and supportive friend!

I’m happy and even compelled to share, my dear friend–one way to keep their memory alive is to share it with my extended family. Much love!

My dear, dear friend. The writing world is infinitely richer with you and your books in it. Thanks for helping anchor me the last few months. xoxo

And I am embracing you back, my dear friends and agents. I’m so happy we had a chance to spend time together. Mom thought the world of you. xx

Thank you, Kat. I’m the luckiest person I know in terms of my relationships. They were such unique people, so different yet so bonded on a deep level. I’m proud to share a little bit of their specialness, and very glad that you feel you got to know them.
