hi Maddie,
thank you so much for your post, it means a lot to me. Yes our house is the one with the driftwood fence, Catherine and I made it years ago, it needs some repair now.
thank you for writing to me that is also very admirable.
Love,
Shaira

i didn’t really know Catherine. I admit that now. But she was a really close friend of my mom… and my mom’s friends are my friends and i mourned her loss. i support you Shaira, even though i don’t really know you… yours is the house with the driftwood fence, right? that’s cool.
i admire your devotion and love, shaira. i really do.
all my love, maddie.
ps. i’m 13. if that’s relevant.

Your “Walk for Love” is a fitting tribute to a fabulous woman who sounds like a great community contibutor!
I would like to contribute financially to your walk but don’t know how to do that without a snail mail address. Could you kindly give me an address I can send a cheque to? Thank you! Our thoughts/prayers will be with you as you travel! In sisterhood, Sylvia J. Brightwell

I hope this walk helps to provide you some peace. I used to love walking, it centred me and calmed my spirit. I wish the same for you wherever this journey takes you. I pray for a safe trip and the comfort and kindness of strangers along the way.
I think of you on your journey, and wish you safe passage. I will repost this to my page, gladly, and hope others will as well to spread the word of your journey and of of the great loss of Catherine.

Dear Shaira, You have a place to stay if you come to London, Ontario, probably several places to stay. I’m organizing a fundraiser for your walk hopefully with Linda Wayne. Linda is a lesbian here in London who whose PhD work was in the field of transgendered studies (Culture I think) I heard about your walk from Integrity London (Integrity is an organization of LGBT folks and supporters in the Anglican church) However, I’m guessing you have way more connections than I do since I’m an introvert. I’m really supportive of your walk for whatever it is you choose to express through it. I have not yet lost a love to death as strong as yours and Catherine’s but I do know the pain that can drive you into the wilderness. I’m heartened to know your dog companions you. And, if I may, I will keep you in my prayers as you journey through grief. All the best dear sister, Lisa
