A Short Thank You
Hey everyone,
First and foremost, I’d like to thank all of you for the response on the letter to John – it’s been absolutely overwhelming. Already over 2,000 views, and 36 comments and still climbing, not to mention the multitude of e-mails, private messages, and in-person responses I’ve received over the past week. It’s truly touching to know that the letter, and the stories that followed were able to help so many through such a difficult time, and you all made it happen. So thank you all so much.
That being said, please keep the stories and comments coming. I’ve spoken with members of John’s family who have told me that it is helping them through this period – so let’s give them all the help we can! I know that they, along with myself and others, will appreciate it immensely.
That being said, after John’s service on Monday, it is time for this blog to begin to move on. Thursday, I will have my first new post since the letter to John. It will be on completely different subject matter, and will, in turn, displace John’s letter from the top of my homepage. For those of you who are new to the blogging medium, do not fear – this does not mean the letter has disappeared. It can still be viewed and commented on at the following links, which I will re-post to my facebook wall as well.

Again, thank you all so much. This last week has been a trying time for many, and I can assure you that I, and many many others, truly appreciate all the kind words and stories that have been posted on this blog. It’s truly touching to see a community come together in times of tragedy, and Yellowknife, as well as all the people John has touched across the country, have delivered in spades.
Until next time,
G.
