I saw you today with your handsome hubby going for a walk in Prospect Park. You looked beautiful as always and you shared some of the details of your situation with me.

You are my hero. I’ve always loved your forward-thinking, fun, sparkling attitude about life. Even in this situation, as hard as it is, you haven’t lost your sparkle.

Which isn’t to say that you’re not feeling all sorts of other things, too. This may not be a walk in the park, but I hope you had a pleasant walk in our Prospect Park on this surprisingly warm fall day.

I’m sure you know how cherished you are by your friends. I hope you know that you inspire us every day. Now more than ever.
