🍀 We said we’d dig for your lucky number… Trevor took us up on it! 😂🎟️
Last night he snagged HIS number. Look at that grin—buddy’s already smiling like we called the drawing! Easy, Trevor. November 617. 🤣
Trevor works for Diversified Plumbing & Heating , one of ReVD’s newest sponsors—and the ONLY plumbing company I call for my own house. Good people supporting our mission. 💜
Now we’ll see if his lucky number can do its job! 🤞

This was such a great day! Working out to build muscle, raise awareness, and help our enlistees and veterans. Thank you to all who came out and Tangletown CrossFit for the annual host!

Our Gritty 5k event raised $1200 for Revitalizing Veterans’ Dreams. This non- profit uses funds raised to help Veterans in crisis and also helps Veterans learn to use exercise as a way to stay connected with civilians.

Join us next year in October to be part of this growing event. ❤

“Had you known anything, you would have done everything.”
A good friend shared this with ReVD, and we’ve shared it with families navigating those first few months after losing someone to su***de.
For anyone carrying the weight of “if only I had known”—these words are for you. 💜

The should've. The could've. The would've.

Three little phrases that can haunt a family for a lifetime.
-If only I had called one more time.
-If only I had noticed something was wrong.
-If only I had said something different.
-If only I had known.

For families who have lost a Veteran to su***de, those questions can become an endless conversation with themselves. One where they keep searching for an answer, a missed sign, or a moment they could somehow change.

And sometimes, the guilt becomes so heavy that it begins to overshadow everything else. The laughter. The holidays. The inside jokes. The ordinary moments that once made life beautiful.

A Green Star family member recently shared a reminder that deserves to be heard:
We cannot let the should've, could've, would've take away the love we shared or the good memories we made.

Because the truth is, we don't always know what someone is carrying inside. We can love someone with everything we have and still not understand the depth of their pain. And losing them doesn't mean that love wasn't enough.

You were not supposed to have all the answers. You were not supposed to see the future. You were simply someone who loved them. And you still are.

Their life was more than their final moments. Your relationship was more than the questions left unanswered.

So when the guilt starts speaking louder than the memories, try to remember their laughter. Their smile. The things that made them who they were.

Let those memories have a voice, too. You cannot change the last chapter of their story. But you can continue honoring every beautiful chapter that came before it.

To every Green Star family carrying the weight of *what if*:

We see you. We grieve with you. And we hope you can find moments of peace in remembering the love that was always there.
