It’s here…our final day.

I’ve been struggling to find the right words for months. Words to express all of the emotions I’ve been feeling: pride, fear, sadness, appreciation, gratitude, uncertainty, and love are the first that come to mind.

David started something amazing and left this world too soon and mom jumped right in to take over. She made the Tavern her own with Ashley by her side. Dan came along and eventually Eric and I were a part of the mix too.

I feel like our part was so small compared to what all of our employees and amazing customers have contributed. I have spent countless hours worrying and wondering if we are doing the right thing because there’s no going back…but I know we’ve honored David’s vision and mom’s wishes.

We didn’t have a “Shutting Down a Restaurant for Dummies” book to guide us through this process, but I as I see the events the staff have been attending, the cities they’ve been visiting, and the fact that that they’re choosing to go together proves that we’re more than coworkers…we’re family.

David would have been proud, Mom would have been proud, and I know the rest of us are proud, too.

You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Tara
