Dear Family, Friends, and Our Amazing Customers, As the season of Thanksgiving draws near, we find ourselves gently reminded of life’s precious gifts and the immense gratitude we hold for each of you. Your heartfelt prayers, boundless love, and steadfast support have illuminated our path through the many seasons of our lives, and for that, we are profoundly thankful.I wish to share a personal update about my mother, Donna, the very heart beat of Absolutely Abigail’s. As a few of you know, she has been unwell for some time now. Currently, she is bravely navigating her third week of chemotherapy and radiation, facing each obstacle with extraordinary strength and unwavering faith. Despite these trials, she continues to emanate the spirit of the inspiring woman who has poured her heart and soul into this beloved women’s artistry fashion boutique, touching countless lives along the way. I can hardly believe we’ve come this far without sharing our latest journey with you. It has been devastating, to say the least. I hesitated to speak of it, but Mama kindly urged me yesterday that it is time to share with you all. We’ve never traversed these waters before, and we are simply grateful to be together. Each night, I return home to her, sharing the details of my day— from our sales to the sweet messages that pour in, and friends who stop by. Oh, how she delights in hearing it all!My mother's diagnosis came out of the blue and turned our world upside down. I was an emotional wreck, hyperventilating, and imagining the worst. Yet, she remained as sassy as ever, refusing to let this get her down. The treatments are working their magic, and we place our trust in the Lord to guide us through. We are grateful we get to face it together. We believe in the transformative power of words, so we kindly ask that when you share this news about mama, you do so with an air of positivity and hope. Our focus remains on her steadfast healing, and savoring this sweet life one day at a time.On a personal note, I am nearing the conclusion of my own healing journey after a huge dental reconstructive surgery, rediscovering my rhythm within the shop. Bringing you all the best our industry has to offer brings us immeasurable joy, and we feel truly blessed to be able to do what we do because of all of you! This Thanksgiving, we hold dear the gifts of faith, family, and community. We are genuinely moved by the kindness shown by those inquiring how they can help.Donna has a simple yet heartfelt request: if you could keep us in your prayers and choose just one Christmas gift on your list from us here at Absolutely Abigail’s, whether in-store or online, for yourself or a loved one, would mean the world to us. It not only keeps my mother's dream of a successful fashion boutique alive but also sustains us during this challenging season. We offer gift certificates for any amount, socks, candles, we have price points for all. We thank you for your continued patronage...Your kindness lifts us every day, and we are deeply grateful to share this journey with you. Im sorry it took me this long to sit down and write you all. Denial is usually is my strong suit. JK! Let us celebrate this season with hearts brimming with gratitude, hope, and love. Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with peace, cherished moments, and joy.With love and heartfelt gratitude,Abigail and, of course, my mom, Donna.Every purchase you make this season weaves a tale of faith, resilience, and unity.
