Love Letters from Heather
Dearest Natalie! Why has it taken me so long to write this letter? When this project was only a spark in my mind, you were one of the initial people on my list whom I wanted to write to! But I kept putting it off. If there is something the last four weeks of my life has taught me—never put anything off. I haven’t completed this correspondence yet because I didn’t have a clue where to start. Entire worlds of mountains and valleys were traversed in the few short years we have known each other. I am left baffled by where to begin, so I guess I will simply start with how—or where—we met (where all good things incept), Starbucks.

Love Letters from Heather
To my friend, Zoe, It was just a few short years ago when I accompanied my friend Natalie Harris to Orillia High School, where she was sharing her story with a couple of classes. In some ways, it feels like yesterday, but in terms of life changes, pandemics, and the journey of life, it feels like eons ago.

Love Letters from Heather
To my grandson, Jaymison. Both your mom and dad were over the moon about your eventual arrival. Experiencing a couple of previous early losses, they crossed every finger and toe. I could see the happiness in your dad (my son) and revelled in watching your parents choose the nursery theme—baby elephants.
