The last year has been the most momentous and important year of my entire life. I have seen more changes, made more progress, known more joy (and tears), and moved closer to being who I want and need to be this last year than in any other year I have known. And in the process, I have been blessed in meeting and becoming friends with so many beautiful souls I cannot even begin to count them. I have learned so much and come to value so highly the many wonderful people with whom I have been blessed to share this life. I know exactly how fortunate I am.
And a lot of it happened here. This amazing path on which I find myself was sped forward and given flight by some special and heartbreakingly wonderful people I now am privileged to call friends, and whom I first met here. I am humbled by them and grateful beyond measure for the help, support and love I have received from them.
So, I want to say thank you.
A big, happy, grateful, sloppy love filled thank you.
To all of you.
You will, none of you, ever know just how much you have given me.
But to all of you I want to wish a very real and love filled Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, celebration of the Winter Solstice or whatever excuse for merriment and joy exists in your life. I hope all of you may find the special path to happiness you all so richly deserve. We all exist under the same sky and despite differences, we all share so much. You are, none of you who carry this beautiful cross, alone. We are all in this together. Knowing that...having learned that...gives me the courage to keep going.
Thank you. Thank you all so much. You are all beautiful. All of you.
Much, much love
Sammie
