Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to take a minute, to speak personally about everything that has been happening at The Beacon. As is always the case in life, there are always unexpected things that otherwise change a plan you thought you had a clear vision for. One of those times was last Sunday morning, when we woke up to the addition of our unplanned "drive thru window". Fortunately everyone will be ok. So we thought "great....all we gotta do is deal with the insurance, get fixed up and re-open". Unfortunately, something far worse happened. In the last 36 hrs., my mom was taken into palliative care. I doubt she will make it thru the weekend. Didi has been unwell for sometime, so this really is a blessing in disguise. As her son, along with my two brothers, it has been very difficult to watch her quality of life diminish to such an extent, and really not be able to do anything about it. But, this is life. She will be in peace and comfort now, and re-united with my Dad.
With the plans for a funeral on the horizon, working in tandem with the uncertainty of the timing of the repairs and re opening of the restaurant, I can't really speak as to when we will actually re-open. My hope, and best guess is next Fri. (Dec 19th). I want to apologize for not being available to you, to be a part of your Christmas plans, as was always our hope and plan. I want to apologize to those few, for all the blips that have happened along the way. The missed reservations, the unreturned calls. Thank you for your patience, and allowing us to find our way. But most of all, thank you for your understanding and allowing us the time to celebrate my mom's life, one last time.
I want to take the opportunity now to wish everyone a very wonderful Christmas Season, filled with joy, love, peace and comfort. Lets celebrate and be thankful for everything we do have, in these trying times, and lets keep in mind all those who are less fortunate, but no less deserving.
Thank you for allowing me the time to share with you my current journey.
