Alongside her adoptive parents and my own mother, I’m honored to witness another milestone moment for Laurie: graduation from the Culinary Institute of Charleston at Trident College. She made the Dean’s List every quarter while working at least one full-time job in food & bev: five different types of cuisine at either legacy restaurants or brand-new restaurants. She worked front-of-house and back-of-house—even an externship where she was the only female sushi chef in Charleston. (All while rocking various shades of red, green, blue or purple hair color.) Laurie, I am overwhelmingly lucky to be one of the family members cheering you along this journey…and onto the graduation stage. You succeeded with flying colors and we’re so very proud of you!

My dear lady friends

It’s about to be 1 year since I lost Lauren. 1 year since we lost her in the tumblr community.

On May 31st, I want to donate make up and nail polish to my local women’s shelter where I donated her makeup last year. So if any of you have any make up or nail polish you’re not using and would like to send it to me, please message me and I’ll give you my address.

However, it would be cheaper for you to donate it to your local woman’s shelter. So if you would like to do that, that would be great! It’s a way we could honor Lauren by helping women who have nothing to make them feel pretty to feel better about themselves.

Thank you all so very much if you do decide to send me your unused or gently used makeup and nail polish.

And if you choose to not donate it because you don’t want to part with it, make a small donation ($10-$20) to planned parenthood or a women’s shelter. Whichever you would like to do.

Signal boost for Daniel (and Lauren).
