I wish I had the perfect words to properly express my feelings after seeing all of the care and concern that was shown with the passing of my mother Donna. Appreciation, love, awe for just how good people really are just don’t seem to hit right on the enormous gratitude that I feel. I read every word of the comments posted throughout the week. I actually read them several times through. With each of your posts came an attached memory or memories. It seemed to give me a little more strength every time I read them.
The sheer goodness of humans was implanted in the literally thousands of comments collectively over the week. One thing that stood out to me is how our tag line “everyone is a masterpiece” would be illuminated in every comment.” I can’t quite explain it because it’s not like it was directly said each time but I loved the comments where with all of the love and support that was sent was also a gentle little “I learned this about myself.” That was so important to me and what this life-long journey in my family has been about. It was a dedication of sorts not only to Donna but the work and program that still lives on even with her passing.
Thank you for that. I could wake up every morning seeing a post of a word or statement that illuminates your uniqueness. So many good people have asked “what can I do, what can I do for your family. In my view I would have to say do that same thing everyday. Wake up and say, “I know this about me, and I love that about myself.”
I thank you once again for the love and caring. I love and respect who you are.
Everyone truly is a masterpiece.
