My name’s Don Schaeffer. I’ve been married over 40 years, I’ve got two daughters and six grandkids, and family has always been the center of everything I do. For most of my life, I worked in a factory 37 years of long hours, a lot of overtime, and doing what I believed was the responsible thing: show up, work hard, provide, and hope it all works out in the end. And for a long time, I just accepted that as normal. But if I’m being honest with you, there came a point where it started to weigh on me. I’d sit in my truck before work, just staring at the building, thinking… “I really don’t want to do this again.” Not because I’m afraid of hard work I’ve never been afraid of that but because deep down I knew this wasn’t how I wanted to spend the rest of my life.

Dear @VALA aka Valgerður Eva Þorvaldsdóttir we love you to the moon and back!!!!! P.S. I made this video for her first thing in the morning! It was a beautiful sunrise. I was caught by surprise (you can def notice it in the video) when I hit a high F on my piano and heard it being untuned AF (flat!!) after my piano has just being tuned… I didn’t wanted to re-record and loose the magic in it… Sure I can make another polished perfect fake video. But I won’t. Our Vala deserves raw authentic energy and EVERGY TRANSLATES!!
