i am rare

a sweet message

Often people won't believe me where I am coming from. Yes, I have been through a lot when I was younger. I became a better person because of my past. I am glad that I got this sweet message from Heather. A reminder that my love ones are proud of my accomplishments. 

"Hey there! Thanks for the Christmas card....it's good to see that you're doing well! Hows the job? Any chance of moving back to CA? On a more personal note...I was just reading an article that (I think Kristin or Priya posted)....took me back to the very first time I met you....your mom had forgotten to pick you up from school....so I gave you a ride home....we were walking up the driveway when I heard a baby crying....we then found that Ashley had been left in the car...when we pulled her out she was crying with a soaking wet diaper and clothes drenched with sweat from sitting in the car. Kandace, I am SO proud of the beautiful young woman that you are today....you have overcome so many trials, challenged and beat the odds, and are now giving back to others a part of what has been given to you. Know that every time I pass our refrigerator and see your picture- I think of you and say a quick little prayer- and send many good thoughts/wishes your way! Much Love Heather"
