Jake shared a letter in the
Remembering those we lost/Grief group 1 years, 1 months ago A Day Late, A $ Short
MIKAELA LAUREN TICK!
I WRITE A DAY LATE. YOUR BIRTHDAY was yesterday: LITERALLY, I AM a DAY LATE.
On July 27, 2014, you passed, PHYSICALLY; it was a rare HEART CONDITION. YOU HAVE A RARE HEART. A golden HEART. Check that, a 💜! (your FAV COLOR) and an attitude akin to an 🐘 with its tusks ⬆️. You had those up EVERYWHERE
EVERY SINGLE PERSON feels a DAY LATE, A DOLLAR SHORT occasionally and it was those moments that you INFUSED YOUR SMILE to LIFT THEIRS UP!
That SMILE FEELS PRICELESS to EVERYONE; it IS PRICELESS EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY SINGLE DAY, FLOWING WITH GENUINE and PURE LOVE no MATTER WHAT, BUT, LIFTING people’s TUSKS up is YOUR SUPERPOWER!
YOU LITERALLY took the OCCUPATION out of OCCUPATIONal therapy: VOLUNTEERING at St. Mary’s, and ALWAYS HOLDING HANDS with EVERYONE!
KALS LOVES HOLDING HANDS -especially for people with DIFFERENT ABILITIES: Camp HELPING HANDS is where it started!!
So PLEASE put YOUR “HAND IN THE JAR and give ANY AMOUNT of MONEY AND/ OR TIME
LY, ALWAYS!!
Until we meet again,
🐘 ⬆️
Jakey!

This is beautiful, and I’m so sorry for your loss. We all at times deal with a day late, a dollar short moments and feel so bad about it, but it happens. We get so busy in our everyday lives, we just forget the most important moments, times and things that touch other lives. You will always remember the smiles, the way she helped with the smiles, and holding others hands to uplift them. Remember all the joy that was brought into your life from this one person and it was the best that you could possibly share with any other. It’s always a joy to help others, always!
