My foodie friends, you did it. You sent me enough birthday money to not only pay for my move but my flight back to Toronto! I think there is even enough to cover some things I left behind that I just could not pack. If there is any left over it will help me replace all the cast iron pans I left behind or help me buy things like wooden spoons, ladles… I really left so much of my life behind that I thought I had lost forever.
You have restored my faith in humanity and saved me from financial despair.
During this time of personal darkness, you saved me. You honest to god saved me. I have lost so much, am in so much emotional pain but your words, your gifts, your support and friendship reminded me that there is something to live for. That my life is not over.
I still have moments of terror and overwhelming sadness but to know that I can pay off the costs to move my little life across Canada brings some light into my very dark life right now.
Thank you. Thank you for everything. You have helped make the most painful transition of my life be bearable. I am moved beyond words and wish I could more accurately describe how much your contributions and support mean to me. You give me hope. Something I had completely run out of just over a week ago.
You are my heroes.
Happy to hear that your burden has been eased somewhat. I cannot imagine having to go through what you are dealing with right now and I know that it is especially difficult for you on top of your medical issues. Hugs to you and hopefully this will be the beginning of something wonderful.
Yes, some of the burden has been eased but it’s all pretty much a nightmare and so painful. I really do hope things start to get better.
This is good news, Suzie! Now you’re free to focus on healing and creating the next chapter of your life. Hugs to you, my girl!
Yes, that’s the game plan although right now I’m still so devastated but hopefully I can get through this. Thanks for the hugs. I need them right now.
Such great news Suzie! I am so glad for you… We all can start over at any age… I’m starting over at age 60!! I am rooting for you! Things will get better, honestly! Love to you, xoO
Olivia, you are such an inspiration. I do hope you’re right, that things will get better. They sure don’t feel like it right now but hopefully you’re right.
As my dad once said…sometimes in the tree of life you just need to hang out on a branch sometimes take a deep long break and then get back to the middle and keep on going …I’m here with you hanging out on a big branch swinging our feet and giggling like girls can so easily do… Xoxoxoxo 🍰
