Some good news and some very sad news…

By -
Hey Zach, how are you love? Your brother's first couple of weeks on the job have gone really well. He is making more calls than anyone in the office and exceeding the target goals for calls. I think he is feeling really good about the job change.

On a sad note do you remember Cody's close friend Robbie Sears? He had three brothers one named Nick that he was particularly close to. Nick had some mental health issues that he struggled with over the past several years and finally chose to end his life much to the shock and sadness of his family and many friends. Cody and I went to the service which was a wonderful tribute to this young man but so dreadfully sad all the same. I can't imagine what Robbie and his mom are going through. It has hit them both very very hard. This type of event really makes you think about life and relationships and Cody and I hugged each other just that much harder that day and have since. Life is so precious and can be gone in an instant and it makes me think of all of the wasted time where you and I have not shared our lives. As I do on occasion, I am asking you to think hard about the decisions in your life and consider the family in California that loves and misses you so much. It's time to end the pain and start the healing. Remember I will do what ever is needed to reconnect. Just reach out in anyway, through Cody or comment on this blog and I will immediately respond and be there for you. Don't let any more time pass before it's too late. I love you with all my heart and soul.

Waiting for Spring

Hi Zach, we are waiting for spring to come here in Benicia as most days have been  rainy and chilly. Your mom has always loved beach weather and can’t wait for summer lol. Hope that wherever you are, you are enjoying the outdoors. Aside from celebrating Jeff’s 54th birthday, February was fairly quiet around here. I have been working a lot of shifts at the winery which is still the best job ever and Jeff and I have been preparing for the first vacation. we have had alone together in two years. We flew down to Curaçao, which is part of the Netherland Antilles and is close to Aruba. We had a very relaxing and amazing time in the warm weather and on the beautiful beaches. Came home to that drizzly chill and are back to waiting for sunshine. I often wonder if you travel for fun and if so, what places you have discovered and if you have any favorites. We have a couple more trips coming up this year, one to visit your uncle Gregg and auntie Kim now that they live in Portugal. Al...

Holiday Spirit

  Dear Zach, hoping you got the Christmas and birthday cards I sent to you. Cannot believe you are 30 years old now. I can’t really say time has flown given  that not being able to see you has left a huge void in our lives. The holiday season is always bittersweet in that our family always finds ways to celebrate and love one another, but there  are always thoughts of missing  you intertwined.  Jeff and I flew Cody down for the Benicia annual Christmas tree lighting and to see Nana and granddad. It was a short but very special weekend. I have included the video where Cody surprised your grandparents with his visit. It made them both so happy. It was Jeff’s family’s turn for Christmas so we flew up to Washington to be with his nephew, Maxon and the rest of the family. Cody was also able to spend time with his daughter to unwrap her Christmas presents. In January, we went to a Robert Burns night, celebrating Jeff’s Scottish heritage. There was plenty of ...

When I’m Sixty-Four.

Hi Zach, well, now I am officially the age of a Beatles song. It’s hard to believe I’m that old and have yet to reunite with you. It’s been almost 15 years.  I think of you every day of my life and pray that you are happy and loved.  Of course, October means Halloween, one of my favorite holidays. We met up with friends to celebrate and I dressed as Beth from the television show Yellowstone. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Earlier in the month your aunt Christine and I went to a meet and greet for the actor Sam Heughan from outlander. It’s a show. We are both obsessed with that takes place in 18th century Scotland around the clan Fraser. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea that Jeff’s family are Fraser’s and Fraser is his younger brother‘s and father’s middle name. My head exploded lol. Thanksgiving was quiet as Nana and granddad don’t eat much so taking them to a restaurant where they are serving a huge meal is not ideal. Instead, Jeff and I spent the...
