I have
Gifted a Giving Key
With the word
BELIEVE
My Story
I received my key in June of 2019 after I lost my daughter. A friend and coworker somehow knew I needed it. At the time, I was angry at the idea that simply “believing” could somehow make everything okay but I held onto my gift anyway. She told me in her card that she believed someday my sun would shine again and I would experience joy.
She believed there was hope when I couldn’t. I was in the midst of the darkest period of my life and fell into a severe depression I couldn’t seem to escape. Through counseling, community, and faith, I am once again joyful and filled with peace, and was able to pass my key along to someone in my life who was diagnosed with cancer.
I believe that God has put both of these wonderful women in my life to show me His grace and mercy and remind me that despite life’s circumstances, He is sufficient to carry me through. I felt honored to be able to share my story and pass along my key and am so thankful I can look back and know I’m not where I used to be.
I will always love, always grieve, and always remember my sweet Amelia, and I will also always BELIEVE that God provides the strength when we simply cannot carry on.
