Dear friends, family, and followers. A letter from Mariana - Remi's mom and ShamRockk co-founder.
Grief has rewritten everything about my life, including my memory of most of 2025. Losing Remi stole my focus, my words, and whole months I will never get back. Instinct is the only reason ShamRockk exists today—the instinct to keep building something that still carries his heartbeat. In the middle of that, a lot of things quietly (and loudly) fell apart.
If I promised you something and didn’t follow through, if I disappeared or dropped the ball, please know it was never because I stopped caring. My heart just couldn’t carry any more.
I’m slowly surfacing now, a little stronger, and I would be honored if you’d let me pick that ball back up for you.
To those who stood shoulder to shoulder with us in the dark—family, friends, dancers, strangers who became lifelines—thank you. And to the new souls who’ve come into our world through ShamRockk and Remi’s story, your kindness cut through the fog in ways you may never fully know.
Through it all, even when I remember almost nothing else, I remember how you showed up. Thank you for your grace, your patience, and for loving us so well in the hardest year of our lives.
I love you all more than you will ever know. - Mariana
