A THANKSGIVING GREETING
As this holiday approaches, those of us here at PFLAG Skagit would like to reach out to wish you a safe holiday. This particular holiday reminds us to stop a moment and think about all that we are grateful for. No doubt, this will be a challenging season for most of us. Our community faces additional challenges as many of us have found our way to our chosen families only to be unable to join with them at this important time. Loneliness is not our friend. We want you all to know that you are not forgotten. We will be thinking of you, your courage, your strength and your example to all who come after you. There are many ways to love and many ways to be. Along with our allies, we stand to say that we dare to love whom we love and be who we are. This is a brave act. Your brave acts.
We are grateful for the support from our community. A year ago, we saw so many in the community step up to donate to us in support of our mission. Many of those businesses are struggling this year, and we ask that you please shop local if at all possible. Tell them that PFLAG Skagit sent you because they cared about us when we needed them. We have a list of all these businesses on our web page at PFLAGSkagit.org.
This year has been one of losses. The pandemic has taken its toll as have other causes that took loved ones who have stood with our community. We think about them in memory and offer their loved ones our sympathy for the loss.
As we think about this season, we are grateful for all of you. Those who are certain and those who are still figuring it out; those who stand and those who cannot yet; those who yell the loudest and those who act with a soft voice-there is room for all. We are all amazing, and here at PFLAG Skagit, we are proud to stand with you.
