To the man I met 10 years ago who had a full mountain beard and dreadlocks you’d be jealous of; you haven’t changed a bit. Okay, you lost a bit of hair but that’s it!

Side note: My niece Ava’a heart surgery was postponed yesterday due to other emergency surgeries. Bit of a bummer that she can’t start the recovery process now but everything happens for a reason. Thank you for all your thoughts, comments on the blog, twitter and Facebook. It’s greatly appreciated. Keep us in your thoughts as her surgery will be rescheduled in the following weeks.
