I wanted to save this email post from a dear sweet lady. I am posting it here because when I come back to this site for encouragement, I want to be able to read what Gigi wrote to me again and again. ************My dear friend Patty,
Thank you for your very kind and moving words. You
have always touched me with your openess, kindess,
love, and fabulous sense of humor. I have no doubt
that what awaits you on Friday is a door. The door
will be opened, and on the others side is a life so
bright, so astounding that mere words can't describe
it. It is a journey along a path we've never walked.
And we do not walk alone. We are all on that path with
you, holding your hand, leading you, guiding you,
pushing you, and walking right beside you. We will
lift you up, support you, and hold you in our arms.
You will never be alone. Never again.
Oh Patty, I am so excited for you, because you are
about to launch on the most wonderful journey of your
life. I only wish I could be there with you to help
you with your first few sips, your first few steps.
But I'll be with you in spirit, and you will very much
be in my special thoughts and prayers on Friday.
Go Patty GO!
Much love always,
Gigi
