I bought a HOPE bracelet in September 2013 at a show in Indianapolis, where I met Caitlin. I thought the idea of The Giving Keys was lovely and it didn't take much convincing for me to want to purchase one. I knew I'd pass it along as some point, but at that time, I had no one particular in mind. Fast forward to March 2014. The 2 year old son of a very dear friend was killed in a house fire. As you can imagine, it has been heartbreaking to see her go through the intense emotional pain of this tragedy. Little Andy would have been 3 this past Friday and today is the 3 month anniversary of his death. I am giving Bethany the bracelet when I see her this afternoon. While I know that no one and no thing can ever replace Andy, I hope the bracelet with serve as a reminder that she will have joy again in her life and to Hold On Pain Ends.
