A few weeks ago, I posted about the death of Grayson Queen. His wife, Rara, has a blog, Rarasaur, which given her current situation, she is unable to use.
I sent her a letter quoting all of the condolences that people posted to this blog, and here is what she wrote me back:
“Thank you for your condolences and kind letter. I especially appreciate the bouquet of warm wishes you collected from the blogosphere. There’s nothing like the wild array of beauty grown from the blogging community. The world is full of love, so full that I am oft overwhelmed by it. In a good way.
Please extend my gratitude to all who have reached out with a word or thought. My family appreciated it and I am completely humbled by it, I am also grateful for the mail – it keeps me focused on something other than my worries!
I am not quite sure what to write or where, but I am home in 40 days and will be posting again soon, I hope.”
If you would like to write to Rara or send her a card, leave a comment and I’ll send her address to you.
Thanks to all of my online friends who sent wishes of condolence and encouragement. It clearly meant so much to Rara, and I am honored to have such wonderful people following my blog.
Bless that poor girl. I feel so bad for her. It’s bad enough what she went through with the legal system, but words can’t express how sorry I am she lost her husband like this.
I got a sense from the letter that she is bearing up. I think her freedom date coming up is helping.
Well, I wanted ti write her, but if she is getting out so soon, maybe I should just wait for another address so it doesn’t arrive after she leaves.
She got my letter pretty quickly. But hopefully she’ll be back on her blog soon after her release.
Hey, Noelle, my letter got returned saying the booking number etc was incorrect. Thing is I am pretty sure it is the same one that I used the first time. Is there another addy for her?
Rara is free and is back online with her blog Rarasaur! She just put up her first post two days ago = go visit her!
Thank you so much for sending that letter. I am sure it meant so much to her! xoxo
I couldn’t help but reach out – what a horrible situation for her. You wouldn’t wish that on anyone!
It’s all just so sad…. I know she will stay strong during this time, but my heart goes out to her all the same.
I’m hoping for good news from her soon. If her blog gets up and running again, I’ll let people know. She is a spectacular writer!
Thoughts and prayers for Rara… Wonderful to hear that so many caring friends are encouraging her.
I hope to hear from her again when she gets out!
Thank you so much for this update. Continuing to send warm wishes her way.
