Well Trav…
Here we are One year and it has been one hell of a year without you here. I can’t even begin to try and tell you how many times I could have used a conversation or two within this passed year. Or listened to a few of your off the wall ideas, an old tune on the tin whistle, or a couple of words in a sorry attempt at an Irish accent in the wee hours of the night after too many pints of Guinness or Crown and Seven, or whatever flavor your tongue fancied for the evening. Then there are the shows…man do I miss the two towers at the shows. Well I have brought your spirit with me to everyone of those shows and “Your Spirit Is Alive” more than ever today as we celebrate the birth of your niece Jamie.
Travis there are no words that I can possibly say to truly reflect how thankful I am to have had the honor and the privelage to know you, and how blessed I feel to have bonded with your family. So today we celebrate your life and the new life that has given hope to many who would have otherwise suffered and struggled harder on this day, the day of your passing.
So “Here’s to you, I sing for my Travie-O as I lay him down to sleep. It’s been so long since I lost my Travie-O, hope he’s watchin’ over me.” Love ya brother.
Slainte!

Hello Trav:
It has been a rough week. Being with everyone on the day, and Jamie’s Birthday was great, Your niece is beautiful Trav! You must be so proud. There was a lot of love in that hospital on April 25th, and your presense was certainly felt. I must say it was nice, but also opened up many wounds that never have really healed. It also was tough for me because we were in many familiar places to me outside of all of this happening with you. The days following were really interesting because the days were so similar to how they were last year when we were paying our respects at your Mass and then laying you to rest in the ocean.
I have been doing a lot of reflecting on the past year, and I am in complete shock of how so much can change in a year. How much my plans, goals, and relationships have changed. Some have grown stronger while others have faded away. How is it possible that just over a year ago my life was headed in one direction, and in a direction that I was very happy with…to where it is now?
I keep looking for the message in all of this…why is it taking the loss of so many that I love for me to get the message? How can I trust the process when the people I love and trust the most have left my life? I don’t know.
I’m trying to stay positive, as you would. Look for the positive in any situation, just as you did. I hope that things start to come together, and I can start to see the message, the path, etc. Any guidance you can give me is always appreciated.
Well I suppose I have rambled on enough for now. Your 30th birthday is just days away. How fun it would have been to celebrate and call you an old man! Well I’ll still celebrate.
Lots O’ Love

Happy 30th Trav!
It really makes it hard when the one year mark is so fresh, it’s your 30th birthday and mother’s day all on the same day. But I think it is you reminding us to celebrate life, and more importantly to celebrate your life. I hope that you were able to give Mama & papa Bear a sign today, as well as the girls, I know they could all use em. Thank you for the signs you gave me today. I hope you heard my prayers, as I always do. Here’s to you Trav! Happy 30th Over The Hill Birthday! Raise your glass and toast to you brotha! Happy Birthday! Miss ya tons! Slainte!
Here is a song by Tim McGraw that fits well My Old Friend!
“My Old Friend”
My old friend, I recall
The times we had hanging on my wall
I wouldn’t trade them for gold
Cause they laugh and they cry me
Somehow sanctify me
They’re woven in the stories I have told
And tell again
My old friend, I apologize
For the years that have passed
Since the last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
But the running and the races
The people and the places
There’s always somewhere else I had to be
Time gets slim, my old friend
Don’t know why, don’t know why
Don’t know why, don’t know why
My old friend, this song’s for you
Cause a few simple verses
Was the least that I could do
To tell the world that you were here
Cause the love and the laughter
Will live on long after
All of the sadness and the tears
We’ll meet again, my old friend
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
My old friend, my old friend
Goodbye, goodbye

Travis,
You knew so many wonderful people. I continue to hear from the people that mattered to you in life, sometimes it’s just overwhelming to realize how many lives you touched, how many people loved you so deeply. I am proud of you, of who you were, and for being the loving person you were. You attracted people like a magnet attracts metal…what a gift you had for knowing how to draw people in, and then loving them so well. I hope you are aware of this huge outpouring of love from your circle to your Mom. I feel so blessed to hear from each and every one of them. Jared and Hagen with their Mother’s Day your birthday wishes…Hagen with his weekly calls, which he has not missed one in over 52 weeks now. Letty with her emails, Greg with his emails… So many others. I treasure each and every conversation with them Travie…as they all are a part of you…they each bring something to my “Travie Table”…unique, to them…a Trav memory, a story, a chapter of your life. Person by person, I piece together the fabric of your life. A gigantic quilt, each person with their own square….this is what made up your life. Just as I cuddle with my quilt made from all of your clothes, I cuddle with the stories, the memories your “friendship quilt” provides. I am truly blessed.
Thank you Candace, for getting in touch with me…another square in the quilt is now in place.
I love you Trav……I miss you…

Happy Memorial Day Trav:
I thought it would be appropriate to remember you on this day just as much as any other person. After all you were in the Navy, and although you didn’t die in combat it’s still a day of remembering those who have gone before us. It has been a fun weekend, one I know you would have enjoyed along with me. Hermosa was gorgeous, and so were the women! I am sorry to report that Chuck lost to Jackson Saturday night, and that was really disappointing, but he’ll be back. I met a really hot and great girl at Underground. She’s older too…so we’ll see Trav. Maybe I’m following in your footsteps on this one! ;o
Anyway I just wanted to let you know that you’re on my mind, and I just wanted to let you know that you’re loved and missed.
