Sylvie was extraordinary and judging by the outpouring of support from friends and family, it would be nearsighted to think that Michael and I were the only ones touched by her short but robust life and the untimely tragedy of her death last Sunday.
We are crushed. Devastated. Angry. Speechless. Confused. Sad. Lonely. Purposeless.
We are also so touched and humbled by the outpouring of support and love from everyone. Thank you. A million times over. The biggest number times the biggest number. When Sylvie was ill, it was hard for us to say, “Okay, we need help.” And when she fully recovered from cancer, it was a joy for us to share our happiness and we schemed over different ways to thank each and every person for making our days a little brighter. I can’t tell you what we need right now because we had learned that all we needed was our little supernova and without her, life does not go on as we ever knew or imagined it to be.

Dear Audra,
ReplyDeleteI am a complete stranger to you, however I just want you to know that there is yet another person who is thinking about you and hoping you find comfort in whatever way you can. Your strength comes through in your words and in your love for your Sylvie. Thank you for sharing her with all of us.

I learned of Sylvie at Chantal's show on December 12, 2009. She played some songs that made me cry, as my daughter and I are 4000kms apart due to my health and current inability to parent. I know it's not the same and I just want to share this bit of information with you to let you know I care. Nobody and nothing Sylvie knows the smiles you'll exchange soon enough.
ReplyDelete*Correction*..Nobody and nothing will ever compare to Sylvie and I believe she knows the smiles you'll exchange soon enough.
