Much Family Saddness


This whole past week and a half is still so surreal. I wasn't sure when I would be up to blogging again, but I thought I should at least share some unexpected news to readers wondering why I haven't posted in a couple weeks. I lost my brother, Matt, to a sudden stroke on July 28th. He was 32 years old. He had just moved back to Tampa from Naples to be with his fiancee, Shruti.
They were planning to marry in March next year.
In a weird twist of fate, Matt passed away on Meigan's birthday. We wanted to change her birth date after this happened, but decided we need something to celebrate that day. Her and her uncle Matt will always share that day, and we will celebrate Matt's life and the gift of new life in Meigan.

No travel approval yet, but could be soon.

I know this was difficult for you Stef; but, Matt is so proud of you and his love and support continues to surround you each and every day while he watches over Logan, Jennifer, and Meigan.

Love, Anita & Jack
