Thank you for sharing a moment with all of us here. Thinking of you and the whole family. Prayers for continued healing for you and our whole community.
What Anja said so resonates for me, too. Each April since that first one, I've felt in the air a renewal of faith in what a family can endure, how a community can gather to grieve and persevere, and how the memory of someone small in years can feel so large in presence, even over the passing of time. Thank you for sharing this update and including those who care about Tilly and your whole family in the continuing journey. Sending so much love.
Amazing—I didn’t remember what the actual day was, but I woke up thinking about Tilly today and planning to send you a message. How
we love and miss that funny, sparkling skater girl with the deep voice and the big laugh. Sending big love to you and the family.
Sending so much love today and every day. I love all of the ways that continue to unfold of how we can memorialize Tilly. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to contribute. Holding you all in my heart. Jennifer
Anja- well said. Stacey and Cort- thank you providing ways we can continue to celebrate Tilly. And for sharing “where”you are in the process and being in the place of celebrating her birth day! 🌈🌈📚📚🧦🧦🩷love to you
I don't think I can say what I'm feeling today and each day better than Anja has said it. I don't know her, but reading her comment, it's like I do. Stacey and Cort, your thoughtful gestures have enabled our small community to keep seeing those glimmers of Tilly on a daily basis, and that is so comforting to me and my whole family. Sending so much love.
My heart jumped when I saw the caring bridge update email just now. It brings me back to 5 years ago so quickly and those horrible feelings of devastation and worry. The sadness is still there, and always will be, but the worry is less.
The worry is less because you and Cort have given us all ways to honor Tilly and support your family by supporting other people. Walking the Tilly trail with you, or by myself, looking for ephemerals is a perfect mix of healing and honoring. Everytime I see a parking lot full of cars at snowbowl with Tilly stickers I smile, and every mornjng I don’t have to find a pair of matched socks I can smirk a little bit and wonder if someone will ask me about them so that I can talk about Tilly.
So much love to you and your fam Stace.
