I just wanted to say, I am so thankful for every single one of you. The reason I am writing this a day late is because yesterday was extremely busy and hectic for me. I was not near my computer all day yesterday so right now is the only opportunity that I have to convey my sincere gratitude for all of you. As many of you know, this story has been progressing for over three years now. And although updates are not as frequent as other stories, all of you have been so patient and wonderful to me in supporting my writing. I honestly cannot thank you enough for that.

When I checked my phone yesterday and saw notifications for a large amount of subscribers, I was honestly extremely confused. When I checked the homepage of AFF and I saw my story in the featured section with the gold star beside its name, I seriously screamed. As an author on this site, I do not get paid for my writings. There are many incredible authors on this site that would benefit much more from publishing their works than writing here. So when an authors story gets recognized by their fellow authors and readers in such a way, it is truly the greatest joy one can experience.

Thank you for standing beside me as I write this novel. You guys have stood the test of time and battled with me through trails and tribulations, such as my grandfather being hospitalized a few years ago. It is really cliche for me to say this, but I cannot describe with words how much every single one of you mean to me. T
