Circle of Life..

As many of you know, Richelle's grandfather passed away last week. He was a great man and lived a long and happy life. It was a very tough time as Richelle was very close with her grandpa. I didn't know him for very long but for the few years that I did, he made me feel welcome to the family and we shared many laughs together. Experiencing a loss in the family is a very tough thing to do. It also gives you a chance to reflect on your own life and what you'd like to accomplish or how you'd like to be remembered when you're gone. For me, it also reminded me that it's family and loved ones that make a man, not material things.

On a brighter note, it was so much fun to see so many of you last Saturday! Thank you so much for coming out. It was great to see ALL of you! I always feel a boost of morale and energy every time I see old students and their families with all of the support you show for us!
