"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"

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.
