I go by the titles of dad, husband, Technical Director, Lighting Designer, Visual Artist, Stage Designer and event manager. None (well, except dad and husband) will ever be as cool as Grand Puba! I'm a music lover...actually it's an obsession. I'm a friend blessed with better friends than I deserve or am. I'm a surfer, not that I have much time for it anymore but it's still defines me in many ways. I wear Hawaiian shirts because I like them but only Reyn Spooners. I loooove motorcycles and really, really, really need one. At least I think I do. Traveling is cool. Monkeys are seriously funny. Cantamar is where I feel I really grew up. Sharon calls me her, "Split-apart". I don't really know what that means but it makes me feel really good when she says it. GP and Brandon are wiser than I am in many ways but I can still whoop 'em in a thumb war. Mandy is second only to her mom in giving hugs. God keeps doing wonderful and amazing things in my life, and for that I am very grateful.
FAMILY
I believe real family is those that are beside you at all times. They are the ones that pick you up when you fall. Not once, but a thousand times. They laugh with you but also at you when you deserve it. They also cry for you when you aren't brave enough to do it yourself. Family is the ones that you have to hold back because they jumped in front of you and are going to go toe to toe with the bully. And they are the one who will push you forward when your dream seems so out of reach. They tolerate you when you are intolerable and forgive you when you don't think you can forgive yourself. And when everyone else is gone and you find yourself standing alone, with your heels at the edge of the cliff, you don't need to turn around because you know in your heart all you need to do is let go and fall back...
...into their arms.
To: B&K, I love you guys.
