Subject: The Graduation Present- Update

Hey Everyone,

	I know that it has been a long time since I last updated.  I lost a
very, very good friend of mine to suicide last month and I haven't had the
energy, time, or the feel for writing.  Losing this person made me want to
die as well.  But I've realized that I still have a lot to accomplish.  I
will continue the story as soon as I possibly can.  Last month was one of
the hardest months of my life.  But the story will go on soon.  Thank you
to everyone who emailed me about the story.  You guys have been great fans
and I will soon continue to give you a story.  Thank you again.  I'll look
forward to hearing from you all when I am able to start writing again.  Bye
for now.

			Always,

				Josh
