A Personal Update from Me ❤️
Over the last three weeks, many of you have noticed that I’ve been away from the shop or closed a few days.
My 85-year-old father suffered a devastating fall that resulted in a traumatic brain injury and emergency brain surgery. Since that day, my life has been spent almost entirely at the hospital, advocating for him, caring for him, and hoping for his recovery.
I haven’t been on vacation. I haven’t been taking time off. I’ve been sitting beside my dad while he fights for his life.
Trading Labels is a small business, and for the moment, it’s just me trying to balance my responsibilities to my customers with my responsibilities as a daughter.
I’m doing my very best to keep everything moving, but I kindly ask for your patience and understanding. A little grace means more than you know. Critical messages during a time like this have been incredibly difficult to read.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with kindness, encouragement, and support. It has truly helped carry me through one of the hardest seasons of my life.
I appreciate every one of you, and I promise I’m doing everything I can to be back to normal as soon as possible.
Thank you for understanding. ❤️
