The story-teller brings a story to life so even if someone attempts to continue the series, it will not be the same. <br /><br />I understand your decision, however I will miss everything about the stories you have drawn. Please do consider writing a spin-off including Ollie and Gav. There is something special about this particular series.<br /><br />BTW, the way you have handled yourself is truly "grace under pressure." I appreciate your positive attitude.

It sounds delightful. <br /><br />Dear Reds, some of you already know that my husband was in an accident on New Year's Eve day, gun powder and a kerosene heater. He's in the burn unit at University of Louisville, and I am here with him. His burns aren't that bad, but he's having some respiratory issues and has a breathing tube. This morning he's running a fever, so he's not resting as well as he was, but all the people are wonderful. Just wanted to explain my absences here.
