To the Vocal Creators That Support Me... THANK YOU!!!

I was recently thinking about how I am totally grateful for the Vocal Creators that support my writing. As I grew up my mother taught me the importance of thanking those that 'help you along the way.'

Therefore, I want to Thank You!!!

But, just who do I thank. With this thought I devised a method in which I have calculated the 12 people that have supported me the most over the span of my last five published stories here on Vocal.

From these five stories (which you can see linked at the end of this article) I have added up all the hearts and comments from each person. Of course the comments are worth more points than the hearts.

In this article I am personally thanking each of the 12 people that have supported me the most as well as linking to their Vocal profile. Plus a small gift for each of you.

Thank you sincerely for the support and for being a friend. I am very appreciative of your kindness and generosity.

I dedicate the following song to you...

(The Following are listed in alphabetical order by the first letter in your profile name)

Dear Babs, I love the little hearts you leave with all your comments. It fills me with a feeling of warmth. I just have to know that you are a kind and warm person. I also like the fact that you consult with me whenever you have an issue in your home such as your plumbing, etc. That makes me feel important and that's a good feeling. Most of all I love your down home style of writing. I always enjoy reading your stories of your day-to-day life and about your family. It's like I'm sitting right there with you in your living room. Thank you Babs for being a friend!

Dear Dharrsheena, everytime I see your name in the comments section of one of my stories it brightens my day (even though my hands do quiver a bit Dear Mistress of the Dark). You are truly a kind and sweet person and I appreciate your dedicated support. But your support goes much further than just me. You are across the board with supporting Vocal creators. I don't know how you do it but you do and a lot of people love you for it. Thank you Dharrsheena for being a friend!

Dear Lonzo, you are one of the first few people I met after I started Vocal + Assist on Facebook. You so eagerly would post your stories but your support for others was met with even more zeal and excitement. You selflessly put more back into the community than you take. I greatly respect and honor you for your desire to give. Thank you Lonzo for being a friend!

J. S. Wade

Right from the start I recognized your ability as a fine writer. Story after Story I was engrossed by what you had to write and how you wrote it. Now about 2 years later I am still engrossed with your works. But not only are you a superb writer you are also a fantastic supporter. You understand the meaning of community and you dedicate yourself to those that are around you. I honor and respect you for such dedication. Thank you Scott for being a friend!

Dear Mariann, you are truly a sweetheart. It is so evident that you have a heart full of love. Your goal is not to be better than others but to help to make a better place for all. I always look forward to you interviews and I love the unconventional way in which you conduct them. Thank you Mariann for being a friend!

Mother Combs

Dear Mother, I don't know who you are. Maybe I know you by a different identity on Vocal + Assist on Facebook. What I do know is you have come into my life about 2 weeks ago and now I see you commenting and hearting my stories. I am very grateful for your support and for your friendship. I hope to get to know you better in the near future. Thank you Mother for being a friend!

Randy Wayne Jellison-Knock

Dear Will, you made my list of Top Supporters! Thank you Will for always chiming in on my stories, poems, rants, and music lists (such as my recent Daryl Hall and John Oates: 40 Great Songs). Thank you Will for being a friend!

Tiffany Gordon

https://vocal.media/authors/tiffany-gordon-tnkd09069k

Dear Tiffany, right from the very beginning you caught my attention with your often humor filled positive twists on the challenges of life. From the very first story I read I knew I wanted to be friends with you… and we did become good friends. Doesn't matter if not our friendship has been so good that we somehow morphed into cousins. Isn't that wonderful just like the caterpillar morphs into the butterfly our friendship morphed into cousinhood. Thank you Tiff for the many pieces of great advice you've given me and for being an ear when I needed to vent. You honestly and truthfully no the very challenging time I am having right now in my life and you know that, I'm sorry to have to say this, that my psyche is at a fragile state. I need friends like you right now to keep me from jumping off the ledge. Thank you Tiffany for helping me to stay somewhat sane in my crazy world. Thank you Tiffany for being a friend!
