The outpouring of love to my family has touched us all. Letters, cards, messages, comments, flowers, fruits, & chocolates sent to the house: we are lucky to have such a strong support network and such loving friends, especially in this strange, isolated time where it would've been easy to let silence stretch. You are all an inspiration of kindness to our world. We love you, and thank you.
Special thanks to my dearest friends in NYC Laura Conte & Chloe Lind with Sarah Merrill in St. Pete, as well as dearest Meg & Blake Howard here. Thank you, Joey, for getting us groceries when we were in the thick of it and for being here to comfort us with your kindness and a great homemade dinner. Special thanks too to my sisters from other misters, Seren Cawley, Gabby Martin (with Sarah and Roy Martin), and Savannah Skoran, as well as the entirety of the “Shed” Crew (you know who you are), Jim Cummings from Kijana, my teachers from childhood like Patrick Fallon and Helen Zientek, all my friends from BAM, my old friend Zach Chmielewicz, my friends in LA like Lydia Dullinger, Nicola Newton, and Kat Barnette, all my writerly friends in SCBWI like Stacie Ramey and Teresa Rodrigues, the Rasmussens, my art family, my film family, my book family, my Friday night dinner family, my biological family on both sides. Thank you all; you are so loving and loved.
All our love,
Claire & the Salmon Family
