On this day, last year

Today is special. 

On this day, last year, I received a very special message from someone. It was serendipitous. We hadn't spoken in 20 years. This person probably did not intend his message to have such a profound impact on me, but it did. His words, his kindness, helped me to move forward, to concentrate on finishing my dissertation and ultimately, graduate. At graduation, as I walked across the stage, I thought of him. His words gave me strength during a time in my life when all I felt was pain.
