Today is just another day that I am reminded how truly blessed and lucky I am to have such an incredable man in my life. I am about to embark on soemthing that is soo important to me and something that truly changed my life, and FH supported me today through donating to my cause and his loving words. Just writing this makes me want to cry.... I sent out an email to my nearest and dearest asking to donate for a suicide prevention overnight walk that I am doing in NYC to honor my best friend James, who took his life off of the Arc de Triumph in Paris three years ago (right after i visited him) Few hours pass after my email and then I get an email that I have a $200 donation and the following message:

'My love - What you are doing is a very respectable and honorable thing. I love that you take the time to do things like this. I know how much of your life was impacted by this tragic event and I am so sorry that I was not able to meet James. Believe me, I wish that I could have known him and saw all the wonderful things that you did. Feel special for having met such a memorable person as him in life, even if just for a short time. I love you'

I love him so much and I just feel so lucky right now. I wanted to share with you girls... We have really found special people and we must hold on tight

In honor of my friend, I have attached a few of my favorite photos of us... Please let me know if you are interested in getting involved, walking, joining a team, etc.

Thank you girls for your endless support

I tried to reply last night when i read this but for some reason it did not post.
You are a wonderful person & it seems like you found another wonderful hearted person as your mate. You are truly a beautiful match. I appreciate you sharing such a touching story with us. You friend was a special person. And you are incredible as well.

Hello Ladies, thank you again so much for the outpouring of support and love for my friend and this cause. AS my FH said, even though I didn't have him for long, that time was very special and treasured forever. I know that many of you have messaged me or written that you are either interested in joining the walk or donating to my team (Team James). Below please find the two links. Thank you so much for all you girls have done and how sweet all of your message are.

Thank you girls so much, you are putting a tear in my eye. I was jut logged on to the website, reading others stories, and it brings up all of the feelings all over again. One lady is on a team with 4 family members, where a total of 4 people were lost
