Who cares about the starfish?

Why Starfish Chronicles?

I have a starfish tattoo on my right ankle with the letter "A" inside.  It reminds me of how I want to live my life, and of someone who has made a much bigger difference in my life than she will ever know. I hope I have made the kind of difference in hers that gives her strength when she needs it.  (((I love you, Amanda)))

For all the starfish in my life and for all the people who have picked me up and helped get me back to where I belong- THANK YOU!

The starfish story (in a nutshell):

A man was walking along the shore when he noticed a child picking up starfish one by one and throwing them back in the ocean. There were starfish as far as he could see. He approached the child and asked "why are you doing this? You cannot possibly make a difference here." The child picked up another starfish, threw it to the water, and said, "I made a difference to that one."

Mmmm... I love that story. Never put two and two together, nor did I know your starfish sported an initial. See... I am liking this. Now I know something new about you! :)

I didn't know your starfish had an A in it...

What a beautiful story! And I am certain you made a huge difference in Amanda's life. God only knows what would have happened to her had it not been for you.
