You are awesome dude. You have a Good Heart.
God Bless You sir. You have my respect and I'd just bet the young lady in
question's acceptance of your heartfelt apology.
Question: 
Is there a site where you have your stats?
Like who you are?
What do look like?
How old are you? 
Where are you from?
My reason for these ques is that I got involved with your blog thru a friend
and have only these emails to connect with you and others (which has and is
alright with me,,,) but I was just curious.

   ....or so they say. I owe one of my readers an apology. She may not
   think so, but I do. Two weeks ago, when I was attending the Milblog
   Conference, I took advantage of a break to seek out Lorie Byrd of the
   Whizbang blog. Lorie and I had already agreed to meet, and I thought
   the break would be a good time to say hello.
   As I was making my way to the front of the room, a woman stopped me
   and told me how much she enjoyed reading my blog. I said something
   flippant about her being my only reader and moved on.
   Now that I think back on it (and it's been bothering me ever since I
   left the conference and had time to think about it), my behavior was
   inexcusable. I didn't stop. I didn't shake her hand. I didn't even
   thank her. I never got her name.
   I'm ashamed of myself. Rather than spend a moment with someone who
   appreciates my blog, I moved on as if she didn't matter. I've pondered
   why I behaved that way, and the conclusion I came to is not pretty.
   I often find myself wondering why I don't have more comments and more
   traffic on my blog. Even though I can still remember when I would go
   days without a single reader, I have lost sight of what really matters
   -- those who do read my blog. Caught up in the ego trip of wanting
   more recognition and more traffic, I have become unthankful. I was so
   self-centered, I ignored someone who reads my blog faithfully.
   Since I was such a jerk and didn't even get her name, the only way I
   can apologize to her is by doing so publicly and hope that she still
   reads my blog. I'd like her to email me, if she reads this. If she
   attends the Milblog Conference next year, I hope she finds me and
   introduces herself. If she emails me so that I know who she is, I will
   make it a point to find her. I promise to give her the attention she
   deserved the first time.
   For all my other readers, I promise to redouble my efforts not to lose
   sight of why I started this blog or take any of my readers for
   granted. If this blog never grows any larger, I will thank my readers
   daily for faithfully returning to read again.
