To the MRBA

Saturday will be a perfect day for the picnic. The weather will be amazing. The food will be top notch. The friendship will world-class.  I appreciate Legal and her planning abilities.  I, unfortunately, won’t be able to be there.

Tomorrow is a fundraising walk to help raise funds to beat ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.  As many of you know, my brother-in-law Adam died from the disease a couple of years ago.  I will be walking next to my sister Stephanie.  I wasn’t able to last year.  My job as a brother calls me to be by her side.

That said, you’re like family to me, too.  You’ve stuck with me when others haven’t.  I’ve been proud getting to know you and be part of your lives.  I wish I could be with you.  But I can’t.

I can’t tell you how much our friendship means to me.  I’m going to rebuild the MRBA page back up on the blog. And hopefully have other events soon.  I will be at next year’s picnic come hell or high-water. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say that. We’ve had that lately.

Have fun tomorrow. I’ll be there with you in spirit.  I look forward to seeing the pictures and reading the blog.

And I just wanted to thank you again. I’m blessed to have so many great friends.
