the plan was always for max to head home today. we woke up at 4am to get him to his flight . it’s been so great having him here
 .
we started the day with the plan that gabe was staying until friday. he headed off to plainfield to visit his friend tom. mid day I got a call from gabe with the sad news that his girlfriend Sams dad, Brian, had just died. it was completely unexpected. Brian lived in portland’s near Gabe and sam but had been traveling when he died of an apparent heart attack.. it was really a shock . gabe immediately turned around and headed back to our house to pack. he knew he had to be there to help Sam. I found him a flight at 5pm .I met him at the house just as he got there and we headed straight to the airport. it was a sad way to end a really good of visit. .
Brian was a really nice guy. Gibbs just started to get to know him.. our thoughts are with sam and her family. she has two brothers and one sister . Her mom lives in LA. The whole family is gathering in Portland This week.…
Diane and I Decided that being outside was the best way to deal with all that had happened. We went up Bolton and enjoy the beautiful sunset. That felt good
We’re thinking of Samantha and her family… Please send them some love
nite all, nite sam
