Stevie,
I just wanted to let you know the impact you have unwittingly had on my life; it’s no doubt a story that you’ve heard a thousand times before, but it’s the only story I have and it comes from the bottom of my heart.
I have suffered a lot of loss over the last few years, not the least of which was the loss of my fiancé. I’d been very sad for the longest time and had really struggled to find something in life that mattered to me. Even though Fleetwood Mac has provided the soundtrack to my life since the day I was born back in 1976, it was whilst watching your Storytellers special for the umpteenth time that I finally realised the impact of your words - something finally clicked within me and started me on the long process of healing.
On that day, whilst listening to the lyrics of 'Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You', I had a kind of epiphany and realised that only I could make things better again. I had to reach down into myself and hold on to the strength of character that I used to have.
I became that woman, taken by the wind.
Now, I’m almost back to myself again and I’ve found passions to hold on to again. I’ve also found the strength to change career and I’m now training to become a primary school teacher, something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve still not found a love to replace the one I lost, but I’m finally open to the possibility again and hope to someday find an angel to love again.
I have you to thank for the Michele that finally began to emerge back on that day, so truly, from the bottom of my heart... thank you, Stevie.
I wish you only love and the best of heaven and earth.
Love,
Chele
