Dad, Amidst all that has wavered and felt unstead Dad, Amidst all that has wavered and felt unsteady navigating the last 10 years without you, one thing has always stayed true. I wouldn’t trade 100 years with a dad who was even 1/2 the man you were to me in the 28 short years we had together here on earth. Thank you for being a dad who left me with a tangible and deeply impactful experience of love. I miss your hugs, your smile, your laughter and the way you could look at me across a room and with one wink make the world safe and secure. Your grandkids would bring you so much joy and you would bring them SO much love. Until Heaven, Biffy,
The truth is, I didn’t pray for daughters. Altho The truth is, I didn’t pray for daughters. Although I think I secretly hoped I would be a “girl mom” one day, if I’m honest, I didn’t ask God to bring that dream to life. Why? Because it scared the shit out of me. I couldn’t have told you why back then… most likely I would have summed it up by saying “I have 5 brothers and grew up around boys… plus I don’t know how to speak ‘girl.’” The fact is, I didn’t know what I was so terrified of, I just knew I felt like I would fail and I wouldn’t know how to show up in the same way I felt capable of showing up for boys. When Emerson Hope was placed in my arms, I began to understand. Suddenly I could sense what I’d been so terrified of. Raising a little girl meant going back and walking alongside the little girl still inside of me. Helping her find healing. Holding space for her pain. Reworking her beliefs. And reframing her identity. On #nationaldaughtersday the only thing I can say is that I’m beyond thankful for the gift of LOVE and COMPASSION God has entrusted to me in the hearts of my little girls. Because of their love I know HIS love more fully. Because of their sass, I know HIS grace more radically. And, because of their personalities, I know HIS perfect plan more tangibly. Who knew dance class could be SO life changing?!? I mean 😍😂🥰
Today marks 10 years since the last time I heard m Today marks 10 years since the last time I heard my dad’s voice and shared a conversation with him. He would have been 77 today. All day I’ve tried to imagine what a 77 year old version of my dad would be like…it’s felt futile, impossible and daunting trying to imagine him as a man in his 70s. However, what’s been easy and is always easy is picturing him as a grandpa running around after my kids, envisioning him falling into a chair while laughing at them and smiling at me as I try my best to parent the madness of 4 kids! And, most of all, his tender hug pulling me close on days like today when the world feels far to big for my heart enter or inhabit. Love is something that transcends time and defies the odds. Oh how I wish it also carried with it the feels and sounds that accompany love. I would give anything to hear my dad’s laughter again, to feel his arms wrap around me and pull me close, to feel the warmth of his hand sliding over to squeeze mine. I wish I had been less hurried to get out the door so we would be on time to Church 10 years ago today. I wish I had listened more then I had talked; and I wish I had said “I love you” one more time. I’ve lived 10 years more intentionally and thankful because of my dad, and God willing I’ll live the next 10 doing the same. Tonight, I’m just going to listen to his laugh on repeat and remember how lucky I was to be the one he called “daughter” 🥰
@kaidenrpatch I’ve loved you since the moment I @kaidenrpatch I’ve loved you since the moment I met you, treasured your since the second I held you and cherished you since the first time I heard you were going to be apart of my world. Over the years I’ve watched you grow, seen you stand tall in the face of adversity and grow roots in the midst of storms that would have blown many over. Your character, heart, compassion and love are fierce. Watching you become the woman you are has been a tender gift in my life and I am continually inspired by your strength, resilience and zest for life! Even though you have experienced so much in life already in just 22 years, I believe your journey is just beginning and the roots you’ve grown in such a short time have prepared you to stand tall and live a life of purpose, passion, intention, joy and love. I’m SO proud of you and thankful God picked me to be your aunt! Happy 22nd Birthday Beautiful, I love you with ALL of my heart!

Soaking up the special moments we shared this week Soaking up the special moments we shared this weekend. Thank you @tlearjet and @karenlearjet for enabling us to experience the opening game at @utaustintx this weekend and @leighannprewitt for saying yes to a last minute invite! Fun fact, this is the 3rd ever college football game I’ve attended. Ever. I don’t know football. I don’t speak the language. I don’t totally get it. There, I said it. However, my boy. He does. He loved it. He gets it. He breathes it and I am doing my best to try and catch up! So, if you see me sporting a team jersey holler and feel free to explain a couple things about the 50 hard line while you’re at it!
