Exhausted After A Long Day At The Beach

Kacie's Grandma Goes Wild Over Frankie Valli

Sunbeam Dream

I had this dream this morning.

I was at a beach in Florida with Beebs and we were shopping at a mall by the beach. We separated and I entered a rather dark room in an old building. It was completely unfurnished and I noticed a sunbeam traveling across the room from a distant window. I followed the beam to the wall where it had focused on a small area. There I found a photo of Kacie smiling illuminated by the beam.

Double Dream

I had these two dreams in one night last week.

I was sitting in a room and Kacie walked in. She looked like she had aged and was very thin with very pretty features. She told me that she was 35 and I told her how happy I was to be able to see what she would look like at that age.

I then dreamed that I was at a religious meeting and a friend of mine from high school told me that it had been determined when the end of the world would come. He said that it would happen on March 11 at 9:00 am. When I woke up I had to think for a while about the significance of this date and then of course realized that Kacie had died on that day but later in the morning.

Kacie's Jetty Rock

I wasn't able to find the initals because the rock was covered with a layer of algae but in the winter they should be visible

A Visit To Mimi

Built to Spill

Hi Everyone,

An old friend of mine and Kacie's, Ian, recently sent me this email about a memory he had of Kacie. I asked him if it was okay if I could share it on here because I thought you all would enjoy it too. One of the most common memories people have of Kacie is how she introduced so many people to so many different types of music and bands. And that is one way she can live forever with us, is through the music.

Hi Natalie,
I thought I'd share a story with you because I think you're the only person in the world that could really understand. Back when Kacie and I first met in like 2003, we dated for like a month or so, but in that month she told me about the band built 2 spill and how much she loved them and that I would love them too if I listened. Well, I didn't listen, much to her disappointment, and once the month was over I never actually went back to listen to them. Then when she died in 2008 as an homage to her I thought I'd check them out finally. Of course I fell in love with the band and have been a fan of all their records ever since. I never got to thank her or tell her that, and I went to see them last night for the third time... I will always think of her at those shows and will always be grateful that for some period of time she was my friend.

Best,
Ian
