Matthew's Story
I'm 62 and retired with 39 years in the U.S. Coast Guard. I'm married to my soulmate and best friend, Diana. I have three children - Bonnie (Married to Scott), Tina, and Matthew (Married to Chelsea). I have five grandchildren - Scott, Armani, Micah, Isaiah, and Cheyenne. We are a blended Canadian and American Family. My Canadian family is Chris, Trisha, Trista, and Scott. Our granddaughters are Trinity and Braelyn. I wished I had met Diana many years earlier but grateful for the time we now have together.
