I'll start by saying, I am very sorry for your loss. I had a similar incident about a year ago from March, where my grandmother on my mother's side passed away and my parents had to fly out to Greece to see to her burial arrangements. I couldn't go due to that being the week of midterms and my parents wouldn't allow me to miss school for that long, so it was rather depressing to not be able to attend my grandmother's funeral. While I didn't spend much time with her, due to the distance, she was a kind and loving woman, whom will be dearly missed. And I'm certain that it is the same for you and your grandmother that has regretfully passed. I can only hope she did not suffer for long and that her passing was gentle.

And before I start the next part of my post, let me just say that I saw this blog over on NF. A word of advice to you, Prodi. NF's current community is a bunch of selfish dicks. I'm not even kidding. It's gotten so bad over there that the only reason I even bother editing anymore there is because Ten is over there. So you shouldn't take their selfish nature as a comment about you and your ability with making worthwhile friends. I've been on that site much longer than anybody else over there, save for Ten and Lavi, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that you are wasting your time trying to appeal to their humanity. Because they are dicks.

Now, here's what I've wanted to say. I can't speak for others on this site that you've tried to reach out to, or the friends you've tried to make in the real world, but know that I have never once turned you away. If you got the impression that I didn't have time to talk to you or to be a friend to you, then I apologize deeply for that, but I know that I've never outright said to you that I haven't the time to speak to you or to chat with you, whether about serious matters or just to strike up a conversation for the heck of it. All you needed to do was come up to me, that's all. And this rings true even now. Like I said, I can't speak for others that have caused you to question the loyalty of so-called friends, but speaking on my own behalf, I've always regarded you as a friend and fellow author on this site. And as such, it saddens me that you've come to feel like this, and I can only hope I can prove to you that you do have honest friends here.
