Hello!

As we all remembered Nate yesterday and tried to think of all of the fun things we have all done together, it was difficult not to feel sad and miss him. If he could see us today and understand are feelings I know he would be touched and feel the love we all have for him. I had hoped by now missing him would be less painful, but it is not, it is just different. Here's to Nathan and all that he was to all of us!

My sister has worked as a team mom, helped out with a variety of sports for kids over the year. Her company has a program which pays their employees for the time they spend with kids and volunteer programs. The check they receive is given to their favorite non profit which is Nate's Fund at the Colorado Rush, $690.00 will go to Nate's fund in about two weeks.

Thank you all for calling the Dove Inn and making reservations. I think Ruby and Frank will be staying with you as well. The wedding is coming along great and having fun putting things together. See you all soon in C-o-l-o-r-a-d-o. Yikes, it is just around the corner.

Annisquam for Sorrell and Dianna will be August 4TH give or take a day. Sorrell will be staying back east for about 3 weeks and Dianna, well who knows. I have joined the unemployed ranks as of May 16TH. I was laid off due to 5 homes cancelling due to the new home slump. We only build 30 homes per year so that was a big hit. I may stay a little longer than a week or just a week depending on the new job. At this point, I am thinking about working a temp. position and continuing to see my design clients and then look for employment after Annisquam. Not willing to give up Annisquam! Besides with the wedding, summer and all of those things happening this may be a great break.

Brad, wishing you a quick and healthy recovery!!!

Take care and enjoy the change of season!

I cannot believe that it has been five years since daddy passed away. I miss him so much yet am relieved that he is cancer free. I think about the wedding and how much fun life would be with him. He did the hard part of raising kids and is missing out on the fun part of seeing his kids "mature" and his future grandkids. I try and remember his voice and his touch, but can't. I have videos of him in Africa and Heli skiing which has him talking yet I can't bring myself to watch them. I do however rub my thumb and pointer finger together because it reminds me of his skin when he had put lotion on after treatment. Sometimes when I am sad I find myself doing this and it makes me feel like my dad is there supporting me. Not having him here is so unfair. I often wonder where we would all be if he was here. When I make choices I think about what he would say or do. I know that he loved all of us so much, that he wants us to do whatever makes us happy, and that he wants Sorrell and I to take care of Mum. Live life to the fullest, do what makes you happy, and do it for my dad.
