As long as I’m living, my baby, you’ll be. Love you forever!

Transition Day 2020
Three years ago, today, you said your last words, I love you. Thank you. What a blessing you gave me. From beginning to end, we stayed the course. Your bravery, courage, love, stamina, and many more accolades than cannot be written in such a short space, are the truest examples of the Power of Purpose. You lived it as you created it, full of fun and laughter. Your happiness will be remembered in many, many ways.
I have begun to collaborate with some incredible CFers in the US. Both are transplants. Both beautiful people, full of life, and passion. You would really love them.
I met Isabel through a CF grievance group I joined. That was an incredible experience. Eight weekly Zoom calls with several parents of CFers, twin sister of CFer, best friend and CFer herself, and the wife of a CFer. One of the biggest outtakes for me was the agreement that hospice care is essential to CFers, and the world in general.

First Case of TaDa Mugs
Happy Birthday Mary Boleyn 2019
Mary loved her birthdays. The celebrations began early in the morning. Numerous times she gathered friends to a party. Her passion for life and celebrating every day was infectious to many. Her example of purpose went far beyond her years. It came from a deep perception of her CF journey that was unique, honorable, and an example to follow.
Fun Facts About Mary
Did you know Mary loved to eat at Mongolian Grill? It is a restaurant where you load up a bowl with a selection of meat and veggies and toppings. Then you take that to a cook who puts in on a giant circular grill and mixes it over the heat until perfectly created.
Mary loved to pile it as high with meat as she could because she wanted to eat as many calories as possible to help offset her CF. Her entire life, she had a strong purpose to care for herself. Not an easy feat when you know the outcome in advance.
Mary was courageous beyond the average person. She kept her goals mostly to herself. She would let everyone know when she wanted something when ready. A very loving spirit her entire life.
Miss you sometimes more than I can bear.
TaDa Merchandise
This is exciting. I have started really promoting TaDa as a meme across multiple media. I have coffee cups, especially for you, Mary, stickers, magnets, t-shirts, note cards. This will go viral.
This is for you Mary! Love you, DAD

I spoke with Peter at Alamance County Hospice, the non-profit that aided Mary in her final days. I am excited about what we will be doing together in Mary’s name.
Rapidgo Driver will be donated profits to Mary’s foundation. I have a great idea about creating TADA logo on pins, cups, etc. With the musical note, it can become a meme for doing something to be proud of.
Mary would love it! Miss you sometimes more than I can bear.
Some day Clara will discover all this.
