Myth,

I swear to God, my own mother wouldn’t have been as helpful as you have been.  Now this isn’t saying much given the woman, but THANKS all the same.

This involvement with Coven has been a family affair, involving both my son and my daughter. Due to my daughter’s musical background, we relied on her to come up with an audio recording and score of Mendellssohn’s Hebrides Overture ( ... )

Now meeting you was a true gift from this story. Hands down. You are a great writer (your LJ postings have me crying either in laughter of sympathy -- the posting on the condoms had me actually cackling.)

The intelligence and wit you bring to the table is incredible -- plus you manage to do this during an incredibly stressful time of your life. Your son is so lucky to have a mom like you -- with such love and tenderness and a great sense of humor to get the whole family through everything.

You know, this summer (with V's death - hah, my mother-in-law not Voldemort) has shown me that all we really leave behind is the love and memories we share with each other -- that and the traits we admire in others and try to incorporate in ourselves. You are such a person -- it is impossible not to want to have such grace, compassion and the glorious ability to laugh at life.

So -- you're not getting away from me! You're stuck with all of us here. And whenever you need a shoulder, ear or whatever -- count me in.

Love,

S.

Hi Sarah (and Ivi ;-))...

I'm on vacation at the beach myself and our internet's slower'n heck, so I'm not able to really write up a whole heck of a lot, but I did want you to know how very much I wish you a wonderful, fantabulous, amazing b'day. Although... really... I think JKR has already given you about all that anyone could ask for!! LOL!!

Happy, happy, happy birthday!! I hope it's all that you deserve it to be!!

Happy Birthday, Sarah!

I could not imagine this day going by, without letting you know how very special you are and try to help you see the effect your gift has on those you touch... or spit tea at. =)

I have to say, that I have found it remarkable how the act of leaving a simple review to a posting on a Harry Potter fan fiction site has led to some memorable exchanges of laughs and also a rewarding request.

I have mentioned many times during my reviews of each chapter of The Coven of Echoes that it is not just the quality of the overall writing that grabs me, it is the small sentences that exude emotions and feelings.

"Ginny closed her eyes and whispered his name one last time to the night. Harry."

"The cool, crisp autumn air whipped their robes around like flags as they strode three across along the grounds. Looking up, Harry forced back the rise of emotion that the sheer presence of this place elicited in him. "

"The cessation of sound was palpable as though fear had strangled off any hope of words. The wind, heavy with ( ... )

You truly did help me more than I could ever tell you. It's been a rough summer but it's getting much better. There was a sense of closure with scattering the ashes and being on a quiet island. Fog horns and rain on a tin roof are good for the soul!

It's been a joy getting to know you. I usually am a much more lighted hearted person! Let's look forward to a happy and dull rest of 2007! I swear, I'm not picking up the phone unless it's good news!

Thank you so much for being you -- you're wonderful!

Hugs,

S.
