17 years ago……
Our beach ceremony, our marriage began
I love this particular pic so much because it reflects laughter, laughter even in what can be solemn moments
It’s now so interesting to reflect on the fact our engagement photo which we used for several purposes was taken here in the Sonoma Square
And now it’s home
The weekend 17 years ago filled with such great memories, it’s wonderful to look back at the pictures
We all looked so much younger then! 17 years I guess will do that…..
We went to Divino’s in Sausalito for dinner to celebrate last nite
The spot of Matt’s birthday bash in 2024, right after his diagnosis, the night we announced to the family we planned to move back
He wanted the Carbonara there
As we sat in the back room, the room his birthday party completely took over, we looked at pictures from that night almost 3 years ago
We reflected on how, when we lived here before we moved to VA, we would come here somewhat frequently
The staff stayed pretty consistent…they got to know us….so we’d sit down and my glass of wine, Matt’s beer, would land on the table…..it just would as the server swooped by on her way through—no request made, the drinks just appeared
It’s so very sad to learn, as we did last night, that Elizabeth Nebot, the restaurant owner who I worked with as a client and who made Matt’s birthday event happen, passed away since
A reminder how precious life is…..
We went to the Sausalito Yacht Club for desert
Sat outside as the sun sat over the bay
We reflected on all the good times we had on the water, at the club
Unfortunately, there was only one face we recognized there…..It was great to see you Jean!
Time has flown by, things have changed
We had a really nice evening…..it wasn’t the struggle that it can be
Yes, there were accommodations made….like I always took his hand when going from the car to the next place, walking thru the restaurant or the club, I ordered for him, eased the way through the evening when needed
We were able to have nice conversation moments
It warmed my heart so…..its so hard to be with him and miss him all at the same time
Last night I had more of him with me, he was more present
Last nite I had more of him with me and for that I am grateful
Happy 17th wedding anniversary honey! I wub you!
