I was fighting a few years of alcohol abuse trying to find my life when my sweet friend Sara gifted me my key saying Courage. She said she chose courage because I was courageously becoming who I was meant to be. I wore my key from the day I received it, never taking it off until the day I knew I should pass it on.
A dear friend of mine found out her dad is battling liver severe cancer. I knew I should pass it on to her but struggled to. I loved my key and it meant so incredibly much to me. I know it means just as much to her now. I have now ordered another one for my dear friend Sara who started this beautiful cycle that says Sunshine. I chose Sunshine because that is what she has been to me in some dark and scary days. Now her light is shinning past me on on to others.”
