Your Weekly Townsend Fix Column 2

Dear Friends,

First off, I would like to thank you for reading my column. Frankly, I think I'm an aweful writer. I always am critical of how you might percieve or interpret my writing and never want anyone to feel like I'm insulting or excluding anyone. I'm having problems posting on the board and I intend to email Wendy when I get a chance but I did want to thank you in a way that as many of you could outside the message board.

Jen (I don't think we've met on the internet or person yet!), thank you for the post, I read it and was truly touched. Sharing my feelings so openly about my Grandfather was so hard for a while. It wasn't because I was ashamed of the cancer and health problems, it was because being open about it left room for me to really lose it. I have always I guess you can say, bottled up my feelings. When I said that Townsend opened up doors they opened them up to people like you that made me more comfortable in doing so! My family is doing fine now thank you. It was hard for so long for my mother and myself very much so. My family was the only family living in San Francisco with my grandparents. My Gramps is the only grandfather I can say I really know and was one of the biggest influences and inspirations in my life, he still is. Losing anyone so close and so special is like losing a piece of you, so I can relate to your pain, but I can only imagine the magnitude of sorrow you felt the summer you lost a part of you. I'm sorry to hear that you lost people you love so close together. I hope that YOU and YOUR family are doing well.

Ally, in fact I don't think I've met you either! Man I have to email you sometime! But thank you so much for your post. I really appreciated it. I do in fact write a column for Rye's Party Crew Club, Co-Founded by Holly L. and myself. I write a once a week column for the club known as "Your Weekly Townsend Fix" (a/k/a "YWTF"). Most of the columns are like the one you read but shorter since I submit them more or less once a week. As far as writing on the sites, Townsend as well as Mr. & Mrs. Trex have done so much for me and if there's anything I can do to help in Trex's absense to the website I have told them to let me know to give them a hand. I am more than willing to do anything to make their jobs easier.

Courtney, My Court! Thank you so much, really. I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you the other night! First Sunday and now the other night! I feel really bad, to make up for it I'll have to bring you some of those Circus cookies! LoL. No really thank you, thank you so much for writing such nice things about my column! It's special to me that someone who's my friend is also someone who reads what I write. Thanks for caring so much! Really, don't cry, I think I've done it enough for ALL the Townsend fans and then some! All of you share in my Townsenditis epidemic, if there's anything an addict loves most, it's company! I love you court, thanks so much!

Everyone thank you again for all of your moral support over the past several months. It seems so long ago that I lost my grandfather but I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I wish I could thank all of you in person and tell you how much it means to me to have ALL of you in my life. All of you have been my inspiration to write another column and another post and to carry on. Thank you so much all of you! For Jen & Ally, I don't think we've had the oppertunity to meet yet and I'd really like to talk to you guys! Please email/IM me @ KNRinSF@a... Thank you again everyone, take care and hope to talk to all of you very soon!

Love Always,
Kristen
