Here is the letter.
To all the beautiful people at Sane
Thank you to each and every one of you that responded to my post. When I first reached out I was in a dark place and not sure where to turn to for support or if I was worthy of it.
After chatting and some encouragement I decided to share a bit of my story. I'm so glad that I did, I never expected to receive so much love and support from people that were complete strangers. Little did I know what was to come and how things would change so quickly with my health.
My life has been filled with trauma and cruel words and actions at the hands of others. I was unsure how to accept the kindness and compassion from others. Everyone that reached out to me, that shared their stories, that made me feel worthy and valued, that made me feel loved, you made such a difference. All the hurt that I've experienced doesn't matter now, I've let the past go. All that matters now is knowing how much I'm cared for here and to know that I'm not alone, to know that I am loved and that my life mattered.
Thankyou to all who chatted to me, sending me love and hugs, sharing pictures and tranquil scenes to imagine.
Please continue to enjoy nature for me, listen to the birds chirping, smell the flowers, listen to the wind rustling through the trees and the waves crashing on the shore, watch the butterflies and the dragonflies dancing through the air, stare up at the night sky and watch the stars.
I hope it brings you peace knowing how much you all helped me. I don't feel alone, I feel like I have friends all around me because of each and every one of you that took the time to care, you didn't leave my side when things got tough, you stayed with me and held my hand, guiding me through this journey to the other side.
Sending you all my love, take care of yourselves and each other. 💙
Please on my birthday (2nd April) release a flower for me on the ocean, river, lake or stream. As you watch it float away remember me and remember the difference you made.
