Thank you everyone.
I first invited her to join PF because, well you can see from her posting what sort of personality she has, and I thought she would fit right in. She has been not too certain of her artistic abilities, this would be a less intimidating place than the big R for her to grow in. Now, more than ever, I am hoping that this place can help her heal and grow.
Excuse me Erenda, I hope this does not offend you. When Erenda first came here, she was rather timid and was not sure of how her artitic abilites and styles as expressed in her works would be accepted. As a result of atmosphere of PF, Erenda has grown in abilities and her subject matter has also evolved. In Erenda's early works I detected a young lady in pain the newest works (rather than new uploads of older works), are gloriously different. Even in the darker of the newest works, there is a ray of hopefulness, that Erenda's early work did not show. Erenda, my friend, this palce has helped you to both grow and heal.
Erenda, you both have somethings in common. You are both wonderfuly talented young ladies who with time and practice will be able to create works that could rival or even shame the great masters of art. Being young, you have the great gifts of youth, time, adaptability and rapid growth of skills and abilities to match your natural talents.
Thank you everyone.

It is only fair that I mentions someone else who this site has helped to heal. Me. A few years ago, something bad happened in relations to the internet. As a result, I withdrew and limited my activities to off-line or being a lurker only.
Then I came here. What brought me here was a picture that Tormentor had posted to the newsgroups. Because of a poorly run server by my ISP, I didn't see the picture the the original commentary. I saw only fragments of the commentary as quoted by others replying to the posting of the picutue. Those fragments and the replies interested me and I wanted to see the actual picture and all of Tormentor's description of it. Latter, I saw the URL of this site in a quotation of something posted by Tormentor, and I followed it here.
I was used to sort of sites where nobody cares who is there or not. If you have a problem registering, too bad. When I first registered here, there was a system glitch and I never recieved the confirming email with the activation URL. I saw a news item on the portal page talking about system slowness, so I thought that was the reason. After a week or two, I sent Tormentor a message, asking for assistance. I had expected that the acount would be deleted so that I could try again, or having a new copy of the activation URL sent to me, or nothing at all to be done. I also had expected for it to take weeks or months for anything, if anything to be done. That is what I have experienced else where over the years. Instead, I had sent the message just before I went to bed. When I got up the next morning, I already had a reply from Tormentor, he had established and activated my account! That was the fastest and most helpful response that I ever had to a problem on-line!
As I lurked here, I wanted to speak up several times, but years of luking can be hard to overcome. Also in the communities that I was involved in the past, you had to have something to offer before you were welcomed to join in as an active (as opposed to lurking) member. So, foolish though it was in hind sight, I remained silent until I had "After the Evening" ready to be uploaded.
While I was lurking here, I was active at another place on-line, most of the people there were nice, but an incident happened that almost had me returning to being a lurker only. It was this site, PF, that helped me to not retreat that way again.
Now looking at how much I chatter, i bet it is hard for anyone to believe that I was silent for so long! And it is this site that is to thanked (or blamed?) for my being able to be myself on-line.
Once again, thank you Tormie.

Erenda, I don't think you mean to say "guilty", that implies that you have done something wrong. I think you mean "sad" or "bad".
