For Zachary James Pratt

Zach, please hear me. I am so scared and so worried. My parents, your grandparents are not doing all that great and I am so afraid that something could happen before they see their beloved grandson. Don't let it be too late. I love you .....,,, Mom xox

Hi Zach, life continues to move on, but not without some bumps in the road. A close friend from my high school days passed away suddenly a few weeks ago. Aunt Christine and I are headed up to Oreville for a celebration of his life being held by his daughter. He was only 55 years old so it was quite a shock to his family and friends. Also last weekend a close friend at work had to put her beloved kitty to sleep. His name was Binky and he was a 9-year old, 22 pound black and white tuxedo cat who was full of life but suddenly began to have health issues. My friend had to make the heart wrenching decision to spare him anymore pain and say goodbye. Once again, these incidents remind me of just how short life is and how much we should value our brief time here as well as those who were put here to share our journey. I just hope and pray that journey includes a path that somehow leads us back to one another and we don't lose anymore time apart. I sincerely hope you are well Zachary and th...

Hi Zach, I guess Cody was in L.A. visiting his friend Marcus last week. He took the bus down and back so didn't really have access to regular transportation while he was down there but I know he really anted to meet up with and he was sorry it didn't pan out. Hopefully there will be other opportunities as I think it would be wonderful if the two of you could reconnect. I know it would mean a great deal to Cody if you were back in his life and I think it would be very good for you as well.  Lots going on here work wise. The bank sent me to a very intensive week of training in Redwood City so I stayed with one of Uncle Gregg and Auntie Kim's friends. What an exhausting week, I don't think I have ever been that tired and there is still lots of studying to do in preparation for the 6-hour exam that takes place in a couple of weeks. If I pass I will get an important certification added to my title which will be nice so cross your fingers for me 😋. Jeff has been working hard...
