Two years. It’s hard to believe how fast time goes by, especially when you can still clearly hear, smell and see things so vividly – like yesterday. I’m so grateful for that though and reminded of how real it all was. Not a moment goes by where I don’t see your beautiful smile, laugh at…
First Date
16 years ago today, I went on a first date with a girl I had actually fallen really hard for, about 11 years earlier. We met and had dinner at Grandstands in Paris, shortly after connecting at a local dance at the Princeton Centennial Hall back during the summer of 2005. I first laid eyes…
Five Hundred, Twenty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred Minutes
How do you measure a year? 1 Year. Just those words – and it doesn’t even seem real. As challenging as this year has been for our family, to think that a year has gone by since we lost the love of our lives, it just doesn’t seem real. And yet, I know it is…and…
Happy Birthday Sara Jane ❤️
One of my best friends, just lost his best friend yesterday. When I first heard about Sara’s dire situation, it was both eerily too familiar and also very sad. I found myself instantly recalling the last time visiting with her, Brock and the kids at my moms this summer, and also getting together for a…
Always a Woman to me – Happy 38th Birthday Love – June 17, 2020
38 years ago, the most important person in my life was born. A woman who stole my heart like a thief, and long before she knew she had. A woman who gave me much more than the Garden of Eden. A woman who truly brought out the best in me…and continues to each and every…
Happy 12th Love – Feb 16th, 2008
12 Years. 12 years ago today, my best friend, my love, my whole world. You made me the luckiest guy in the world by marrying me on a sunny and crisp winter day. I’ll never forget how beautiful and perfect everything was that day – all because of you. We used to reminisce and smile…
A Single Tear
Last night, I lost the love of my life. My sounding board. My go-to person. My Best Friend. I had just finished eating dinner, with my two brothers and father in law, which included memorable chats about growing up and old friends, when I went into the room to trade places with Connie, bedside next…
Jo’s Final Journey
Hi Everyone. It has been both a beautiful and incredibly difficult week for our family. A week of many tears, smiles, memories shared and visits from family and friends. We are so grateful for everything (and everyone) even at such a challenging time. I know it’s been a while since you have all heard from…
Last Christmas / This Christmas
Last Christmas I was still hopeful for a cure. We were ending my first line of incredibly aggressive treatment which was very strong chemo, internal and external radiation. By time Christmas approached I was an absolute shell of a person. Completely ravaged by the poison we were trying to use to save me. Unable to…
Foul Ball
(expanding on last weeks update with go forward plan) I thought we’d keep the baseball ⚾️ metaphor going….. and it’s not just because our hockey team has been on an epic losing streak! I stand now, a step out of the box, knocking some loose soil off my cleats, trying to refocus. Ladies and Gentlemen,…
