In one instance, one event, one chance meeting and your life changes forever. That's how I feel about this past year. I could and would not be where I am if it had not been for one person, my husband. I would not have had the opportunities to start a journey I was too frightened and unsupported to begin. He opened up a door for me, one that I've been avoiding my entire life. He showed me what true unconditional love and trust means, and I can't begin to thank him enough for that.
He has given me an amazing opportunity to work for Holt this summer. A summer that will define who I am and what I will become. I have had the privilege of getting to know these strong, beautiful, talented, funny and unique people throughout the United States. I was all alone, and then I found this family, this amazing family, to draw strength, understanding and love from. They have trusted me and allowed me into their lives, a gift I can never truly repay them for. I can't thank you guys enough for what you have given me this past summer, it has changed the person I am, forever.
Only now, as I reflect back on the year, can I truly appreciate the courage it took to change paths, supported by an amazing, unconditional love. Thank you....Thank you.
I love how you called our community a family! I feel the same way, that we share an unexplainable and very strong bond. All our lives we are connected to people not by bloodline or physical features, but by the experiences that lead us to become the people we are and that bring us all together. We are all very blessed to be in the situation we are in and the opportunities this life style brings us. I enjoy reading your blog and your opinions. I hope to see you this coming summer!
