On January 24, 2013, my father passed very suddenly at 62. I was neither prepared, nor ready to live life without him. How was it possible my three small children would grow up never really knowing him. I became disinterested in life. As a once ambitious, motivated go-getter, I became withdrawn, and shut down completely. Scott was patient, I cried, a lot. I struggled to find a way to be happy again. The search was on...I found myself looking for stories that made me happy, places that made me happy. One day I remembered a story that changed our course. Every summer my Dad would call to say he could not wait for their friends to come to Chappaquiddick to have a lobster dinner (he and my Mother lived on Martha's Vineyard for close to twenty years, and rarely treated himself to that) he would say, I wait all summer to get happy on chappy!" Chappy Happy® was born. We hope that wherever you are in life, whether you've just experienced a setback, perhaps a loss, or maybe you're exactly where you thought you would be, you are able to "Let life smile."
