I have never, in my entire 29 years, written a letter to anything remotely resembling your company and your cause.  I write letters of complaint, letters of gratitude, letters of acknowledgement, but never a letter like this.  My journey is personal, and yet standing in a store in NJ, I found myself staring at your shirt, with the Amelia Earheart quote on it, and almost felt moved to tears.  My journey is a long one and it continues, but the short version of the story is that I journey as an only child, a motherless daughter, a woman in love but with someone that is not quite in the same place yet, a woman who gives more than she can bear and yet has so much trouble accepting in return.  I am an only child and I lost my mom when I was 23.  I was her primary caregiver and while going to graduate school and working part-time, I cared for the woman that was both my greatest love and my most terrible burden.  I hope you'll forgive me for saying that, and perhaps you both understand what I mean.  Her illness and her attitude towards it was tremendously difficult to a girl of 21 and 22 who really just wanted a mom around to see her finish school, get married, have kids, and live the life that we always said I would have.  But she couldn't and didn't and she passed away in the spring of 2003.  So my journey continued without her.  I finished grad school, met the love of my life, entered a wonderful career in healthcare.  The man I love is not yet in the same place I am, but I, as you so eloquently put it, trust in my journey with him; in my hope, and in my love.  I trust that we will travel life together, even if it not yet quite the right time.  It is a hard road, and it requires a certain leap of faith I think to really trust in one's journey.  I have fought anxiety, depression, misery and the like and I am still standing because of the help of many people but mainly because I trust.  Like nothing else, I trust.  And even when that is all I have, it is worth more than I can say. 

Thank you for producing such an inspirational and moving line of clothing.  Never have I felt so compelled to write a letter such as this.  I bought that Amelia Earheart shirt that day, and wore it the next day.  And I went back today and debated between the t-shirt with Anne Frank's quote or a pink long sleeve t-shirt.  I bought the pink one that has "trust your journey" in Japanese characters, because I practice a martial art.  But it was a toss up as I love that you chose to use such a wonderful quotation from a person that not everyone may remember or even know of.  You really may not understand about this purchase though.  I NEVER, EVER buy shirts that say things.  But these say much more than I could ever say to the people I pass on the street.

I wish you both the best of life as you continue on your respective, and joint journey's-

With kindest regards,
