This year it's strangely quiet. No sounds of you whipping the little ones into a frenzy playing with their new stuff. No big Sky laughing from the other room. No unexpected slaps to the back of my head as you pass by, followed by your Cheshire Cat smile as you wish me a "Merry Christmas".
I miss you, and the tree and the kids and the gifts and the crumpled wrapping make it more so.
Yeah, it's quieter than usual.

A Big Thank You!
We want to say a big Thank You to Baron Davis, a high school friend of Sky's, for making an extraordinary donation of $5000 to the Sky Rashby Memorial Fund at Caltech.
When Baron heard about Sky's death, he dedicated the Golden State Warriors opening night game to Sky. He also pledged to donate $200 per point he scored that evening. Baron scored an awesome 25 points, making for the $5000 donation. Thanks to Baron and the efforts of his assistant, Lori, Sky's nephews had great seats to watch all the action in Oakland that night -- and got cool Warriors jerseys. The experience was such a bright spot in what has otherwise been an incredibly difficult time.
So, thank you, Baron. Your kindness means a lot to our family.
And, thank you, Lori. It has been nice getting to know you and we appreciate everything you've done behind the scenes.
With admiration,
The Rashby Family
