Seeing the pics of Mark and Tammy are so sweet. I have known them for 12 years they truly are a "Jack and Diane" story. They are committed to each other, their friends, and this community. So much so that Mark protects us daily as a Napa Sheriff. You two win in my contest.

Maybe those among us who feel superior could try to take a moment or more to see life from the perspective of someone who (even from a position of pain or vulnerability) has too much pride to accept the stigma of being in need of the social translation of "the lowest of the low" homeless shelter or addiction counseling.
