Lindsay,
Happy Birthday. Miss you all the time. This year has flown
by as each year does. When Amanda asked to write a quick update for everyone I
wanted to take the time to thank everyone for supporting the song I released
earlier this year to raise money for the LLS in remembrance of you, friend.
About three weeks ago I was driving through my neighborhood
and I saw about 10 tiny children with their parents selling lemonade and
cookies for the LLS. I drove by and immediately turned around to go grab some
lemonade, which by the way was so sugary and amazing. I wanted to pay forward
the money earned from your song to the children since it wasn't much (because
iTunes takes a large percent) but it was something. And the whole point was to
remember and honor you and your strength. I am grateful my year started off
emailing with your mom, Molly, Emily, and many others about releasing the song.
Emily sent me some pretty stellar photos of you and it was hard to chose which
one since you were so glam in all of them. You have an iTunes cover and are
pretty much like Beyonce now! :)
Other than that I am back in Nashville after my year in
Memphis opening up a new lululemon. I am managing the store here in Nashville
and loving it. Still single so no babies or boyfriend/hubby to report. If you
would be so kind as to tell the big man upstairs to send some men my way. ;) I
still write and play guitar all the time but I have a lot of friends in the
music business and am just no longer interested in pursuing that as my career.
Music (and rapping-kappastylapi) will always be so close to my heart and I am
grateful every day for the gifts we have been given. Maybe I still brag about
you and your perfect ACT score and how you would be changing the world right now
with that brilliant mind of yours.
LARS, you are so well loved. Thought of. And celebrated. You
have changed my life and I couldn't tell you or your family that enough. Happy
birthday and to your family, I am thinking about you all. Thank you for being
so kind to me over the years and inviting me into your story.
Love always,
Tillie
