2023 – A Year of Breathing

The year 2023 has allowed me a much-needed breather—a respite of sorts. It has allowed me to sit with events of my life and plan for what will be the 11th year of the Charlotte Helen Bacon Foundation.

Throwing Buoys

December 29th, 2022

After Charlotte died, Joel and I were underwater with grief. We would fight to the surface and gulp air, only to be dragged under again. It was a cycle that would repeat over and over. There were times we were not sure how long it could continue. Would we make it? Well, the grief continues, but we are not underwater or washed ashore; instead, we support others who find themselves in murky water.

Helping Veterinary Students Achieve their Dreams

December 22nd, 2022

We had no idea that what we wrote in Charlotte's obituary would provide an opportunity to see her dream of becoming a "doggy doctor" come alive in others. Our loving tribute to her life shared that she had dreams of being a veterinarian from a very young age, and this caught the attention of North Carolina School of Veterinary Medicine.

BOLD LIKE CHARLOTTE.
