Happy 9th anniversary to my love @treefiddy5 and the little wedding that could. You would not ever guess it looking at these photos that we barely made it to any wedding at all (due to factors outside our control). But Santa gathered 22 of his strongest soldiers and sent them packing to Verona, Italy, for a Christmas wedding. Our wedding was largely a surprise to us— the venue, the food, the cake‼️— and all. It far surpassed anything I could have ever imagined on my own. I really mean that. 9 years fills me with gratitude for all the gifts and friends and kids we’ve picked up along the way and yet I wonder how time has passed so quickly. It’s all a reminder that even when it doesn’t feel like it, the universe tends to conspire in our favor. We are right where we are meant to be🎄♥️ Forever grateful to @sparkle_illuminating and the way she captured the best day of our lives 📷
Today marks your second birthday without you. All these days later I can barely find the space in my brain to comprehend that you’re really gone. Your handwriting is still on the whiteboard in my kitchen. Many days I walk over to make sure no one has erased the last words you ever wrote to me, so unserious. Like you were coming right back. You should be here now. How I wish you were.
I miss how you’d show up unannounced, take extra loud phone calls and knock over everything in my kitchen. I miss how you’d call, “just to say I love you”. I miss thinking you knew everything when I was young. You were untamed, extraordinarily smart, a person of impeccable character, yet, not without flaws. You were real. You loved and were loved bigger and better than anyone I’ve known. You were my parachute, my lifeline, and it’s been nearly impossible to soldier on in your enormous absence. I do my best, but I’d do so much better if I still had you.
What I do know is I am forever blessed by vestiges of you. I’ll never have to wonder how it sounds when you say my name, because you narrated my whole childhood. Still love you, still miss you, still looking for you in every little thing. Happy birthday Dad 🪽🎈
Into the Great Smoky Mountains for Annie’s birthday. To my Annie Buns, what a gift it is to have you in my life. You truly light up everyone around you. I’ve said it before but when we first met I did not believe you were real because you were immediately so kind and generous. I thought - she’s too good to be true. But you were not. I wish that everyone had someone like you. I love you to the moon, baby 🌙 @itsanniet
