My Story…
"Hey Peach! Just wanted to say, 'I love you!' Our mothers are going crazy right now. So, I don't know. I love you so much. Give me a call back!"
I miss those voicemails. I miss her wild tales. I miss how she called me her Peach.
I miss Steph.
A lot.
I told Steph's mom, my Auntie Charlene, I think of Stephanie every single day. Sometimes I'm sad but most of the time I smile because she was my favorite person.
A lots happened this year I wish Steph could see!
I marked a year in the condo I bought, which she would have loved and obviously would've decorated!
I got engaged to the man of my dreams! I tell him often how Stephanie would've loved him! They're both Francophiles with a taste for luxury! Qui qui, mon amour!
And I ran the Boston Marathon. I know she would've been the loudest cheer and tightest hug as I crossed the finish line!
Boston was cool! It was amazing, one of the best things I've ever done!
But it will never be Falmouth.
It will never mean to me what Falmouth does.
The Falmouth Road Race is synonymous with Stephanie.
Her wild tales walking 100 miles to get to the finish line and her calls in the weeks leading up, wishing me well.
I miss her everyday. But when I run Falmouth, I always smile because I know Steph is right there with me.
Thank you to every single person who has supported me over the years! This marks my sixth Falmouth Road Race running for Stephanie and the New England Lupus Foundation!
I am beyond grateful for all your support over the years and for all the support earlier this year during Boston!
It is an honor to keep running for Steph and to find a cure!
I love you, my Peach! See you at the Finish Line!
