Thank You.
I'm really at a loss at how to thank all of you for the incredible outpouring of support you've given me over the past week. From the kind emails and letters to the donations, the flowers and candy to the incredibly personal stories that were shared with me in effort to remind me I was not alone... I'm truly floored. Never have I felt so supported and loved by so many. You all know who you are. I'm a very lucky girl.
We now return to our regularly scheduled blog.
We're just glad to have you back, Sarah.

I think being yourself is thanks enough. :) It was nice to see some unity in the United States. Hopefully people will always support each other in times of need. Break the silence. Keep listening to music and you'll be fine. Best wishes, and God bless. :)

Losing someone that close to you is hard, and if we (your loyal followers) can help ease that pain for just a moment - then it's all worth it!
Happy humpday.

Welcome back sarah!

So sorry to hear about your loss Sarah. I too just suffered a loss a couple of weeks ago when my grandmother passed away. Its never easy to lose someone you love, especially someone so close, but what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. So hang in there and good luck, you are in my thoughts.

Sarah:
I was on the show yesterday and gave you the card my kids sent you, I wanted to say hi but I was shy, I think my kids are going to be there on thursday, it was a great experience to watch you live, you were really profesional, and keeping everybody on their toes. I love the way Kevin defends you from everybody, that's real love, you are right, you are a lucky girl, we all love you, just take it one day at a time. God bless.

Sarah, it was more than a pleasure to share my mum's story with you. I never said it was easy to, but you're right when you say that you aren't alone -- there are so many that support you, always remember that!
It's great to have you back. :) Please, take care.

Glad you are back on the show, and back at work. We all missed you. Mark Twain often referred to seeing a girl standing on a dock as he passed by for a few seconds when he was a young man. He said he recalled that moment every day for the rest of his life in startling clarity - even though he never spoke to her, or saw her again. Those that pass through our lives really do become part of us, and as Twain said - the memory grew stronger, not dimmer...

It's good to see a smile at the end of your posts again. Hope you recover quickly.

Sarah, its just great to have you back im very sorry about what happened but its really great to see that your working through it..The Best of luck in the future..

Losing a parent from cancer is always tough.
I lost mine right before I was supposed to graduate from college.
Hang in there. Remember, whatever you're feeling is okay right now.
p.s. It was cool meeting you guys in nashville during the 'digital digs' roadshow.

I was 15 when I lost my father and I was also totally amazed by the support and help my mother and I received, and it made the worst time of my life a little bit easier to get through - so not only should you do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but I'm a firm believer in doing unto others as others have done unto you. There's going to be good days and bad days (even now, almost 15 ears later, I still have "bad days") but it's close friends -- and sometimes total strangers -- that help you cross those rivers!

welcome back sarah and your welcome we're just one big happy tss family and we have to support people went they need it. best wishes to you and your family.

It's *so* great to have you back, Sarah. :) You should have seen my face light up when I saw you back on TSS Monday. It's awesome to see you doing so well after such a hard time.
Posted by: Danny | Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 05:27 PM
Welcome back, Sarah
Kat did a good job of filling in for you while you were gone, but it is good to have you back being as cheerful as ever.
(yes yes, I know... even "villans" like myself have hearts too)
Posted by: nashvillan | Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 05:33 PM
Hey Sara. I just wanted to give you my sympathies and some advice. When my father dies 10 years ago, I didnt think of this then, but now wish I had. Gather every bit of video and audio that you have on your father. I only remember my fathers voice in dreams now and wish I could hear him speak again. If you have tape then save it.
Posted by: MichaelH | Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 05:40 PM
Welcome back, Sarah! :-D
We're *always* here if you need us!

Sorry to hear about your loss Sarah. I know that things won’t be the same for you without your Father. I lost my brother back in March. His death was sudden and unexpected. He was my only sibling. So I can tell you first hand it is not easy. But it does get better. My heart goes out to you. It is always good to see you on the TV.

We are glad to have you back and you've looked stunning on the show this week.
I didn't say anything comforting so I'm sorry, but if it matters when I read what happened off of kevin's blog I felt really bad and missed you on the show that week.
Plus there was that whole, I'm sure she's getting fifty kazillion emails spamming her right now on the subject.
Just glad your okay Sarah L.

Apologize for the double post, but I wanted to add a bit more to previous. I didn't get a chance to post earlier, but I'm sorry for your loss Sarah; glad to see that you're doing better though. Take care of yourself, we young TSS fans want to see you around for quite a bit. ^_^
Posted by: Eric | Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 08:54 PM
Great to see you smile, I know how tough it is. No matter what goes on with the show, if we like it or not, we do care about you guys. Many of us know the pain, and we know it helps a small bit to know people support and care. I am sure your dad is so proud of you looking over you.
Glad to see you are ok
Posted by: John | Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 09:12 PM
We are glad to have you back Sarah. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it is to loss someone close to you. Six years ago I lost my grandpa and it was so hard because he was the first person close to me that I have ever lost and nothing has been the same since. But you are right about one thing your dad will always watch over his little girl. We can see that he was a loving father but just looking at beautiful and loving daughter he has rasied.
