Kairos, a retreat that many students in their senior year at a private or religious high school was one occasion that impacted my life is a way I could have never planned for or imagined. Not only did I learn so much about myself but I learned so much about my fellow students with whom I shared this experience. But my immediate group was a group full of the strongest, smartest, and most beautiful women I have ever met.

Hello ladies,

It's been a little over two years since we went on our Kairos trip together. And boy do I miss those three days. I often find my mind wandering to that weekend and how much of an impact it's had on my life personally. One thing that I can that the Saint Francis Retreat House for is giving me the opportunity to get to know each of you a little better. The odd thing about our group was that throughout our four years of high school virtually all of us spent the bulk of the day together because our school was SO small and we basically had all of our classes together. But that never meant we all knew each other in the way we did after Kairos.

Because we spent so much time together on a daily basis I thought our experience wouldn't be the same as everyone else's I could not have been more wrong. I opened up to you girls in ways I never thought I'd be able to and not a single one of you judged me for anything even when I was "speaking orange." For that I thank you. Thank you all for listening and supporting me as I discovered something new in myself and allowed my demons to come out.

The point of the trip was to grow as a person and grow closer to God but I also grew closer to each and every one of you. Since high school we have all gone our separate ways but I would never feel uncomfortable to reach out to any of you just to talk and I hope you all feel the same way about me. The six of you have all gone to do such wonderful things since the years we spent together in high school and even if you don't realize it you're all living the third every day of your lives respectively. Just remember that whenever you feel lost or alone you'll always have a friend in me.

KXG3 forever

All My Love,

Heather
