I probably could have added this to the post about Sharon from Rydeon, but I feel it is deserving of its own post and fits in well with the timeline. I was so touched she gave me a card back-I was not expecting that! I love her!
May 2016.
Dear Andrea,
I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful card and message. Words cannot convey how sorry I am that your family had to experience such a tragic loss. No family should ever have to go through what you have gone through. It means a great deal to me that you have found some solice at Ryde On, and that you are able to get some release from your grief. I lost my mom suddenly 3 years ago and it was shortly after that, that I decided to dedicate my efforts to health and fitness. It helped me a great deal and gave me energy to deal with tough days.
Our family follows the Jewish faith and although we don't "practice" in the traditional way, I have always believed in a higher power that guides us and gets us through. I am so happy you have your faith to act as your guide and support, especially in those tough days. I have included a cross with this note. It was found in our home in Holland 8 years ago when we first moved in. I remember questioning what I should do with it. Ultimately, I kept it and placed it back where I found it. 6 years later as we were now preparing to move out, I found it again. I felt compelled to take with it with me. It has now journeyed to 3 countries and until now has sat vigil next to my mom's photo in our cabinet. After reading your card, the first thing that popped in to my head was the cross. For some reason, I feel like it was meant for you. So, I hope you don't mind but I would like you to have it.
May each day that pass give you the strength to live a happy and healthy life. There is no question in my heart that Hayden would have wanted that for you.
Love,
Sharon XX
The cross she gave me was a metal silver crucifix with Jesus on the cross. It's very nice. I love her and I LOVE YOU!
