One life that shaped us all.
We sit here holding your hands, memorizing the warmth, the softness, the way your fingers still wrap around ours. These are the moments that don’t feel real — and yet they are the most real of all.
We know you’re tired.
We see it.
And when it’s time for you to rest… we will miss you in ways we won’t always know how to say out loud.
Life is shorter than we ever allow ourselves to believe.
One moment we are born into loving arms…
and before we’re ready, we’re the ones holding them as they prepare to let go.
And somewhere in between those moments… something shifts.
I understand now what it means to continue to stand at the front.
To be the one who continues that watches over everyone.
To be steady when others are shaking.
To carry the weight quietly so they don’t have to.
You built this family with strength and tenderness.
You raised women of resilience and grace.
And you helped shape a man who will protect what you created.
When it’s time… rest.
I'VE GOT THEM NOW!!
Love doesn’t end here.
It changes form.
It lives in our blood, in our choices, in the way we take care of one another.
Forever grateful.
Forever yours.
