I have
Received a Giving Key
With the word
STRENGTH
My Story
September 30 I found myself alone in Vegas at the Route 91 music festival, the day before my birthday. The friends I had came with had to leave and I stayed, determined to make the most of my birthday trip.
I met two girls that day who were both kind and fun and we became quick friends. I told them my situation and they invited me to spend my birthday with them. October 1st came and they helped make my birthday special, these two strangers.
They were always going to be special to me for this act, but little did I know what else that day had in store for us. We survived the mass shooting. It was the worst day of our lives. I thank God every day I met them. One of them sent me a strength key today, explaining how I have shown strength and it has helped her healing. She told me how important I am to her.
I feel so incredibly blessed to be alive, to see another birthday despite how hard it will be, especially with such an amazing individual cheering me on. She may have given me the word strength but she is strength herself and has given me more words than can fit on one of these beautiful keys.
