The First Three Letters

This is the best most thoughtful gift anyone could have ever given me ever!  Thank you all!  I have no idea what’s in store and who participated but I can’t wait to find out.  When I’m dead tired in the mornings, this will motivate me I just know it.  

My mom instructed me to open the first three on the plane.  In the first two, she so thoughtfully calculated my process of making this decision along with my Dad, the reactions, thoughts, anxieties, and then filled it with love.  She knew this was in store for me, (I just knew it!) but she like all Mom’s, worry.  Thank you for always being there for me and encouraging me even when I doubted myself.  Even though you initially wanted me to stay in my comfort zone, you found your way to understanding and accepting what moves me.  I remember the expression on your face when I first told you, and all the words following :) What a turnaround.  Mom, Dad, I love you. 

The third letter from the Hatzis Family is perhaps the most unexpected and most amazing story ever!  Instead of recapping it, I will post it.  You will appreciate it as much as I do.  Needless to say, all three letters on day one made me cry, on the plane nonetheless :) I’m so grateful to be part of such a wonderful and caring huge family, it’s the absolute best!
