Met a man in my twenties — full of big dreams and bold plans. Somehow, in the blink of an eye, he became a man who works hard, shows up, sacrifices, and loves his family fiercely. He’s a wonderful example to our boys — patient in teaching, the fixer of all things, and always present. One of adulthood’s quiet gifts is getting to witness the person you chose to do life with grow into exactly who they were meant to be. He deserves every good thing that comes his way. Happy Birthday to our guy! We love you endlessly. 🫶🏻
11/9/17 — The day YOU made us Mom and Dad.
And here we are, somehow with an eight-year-old!
This song never fails to bring me tears, especially as a parent. My boy, you are so incredible. The way you fiercely protect the ones you love is one of my favorite things about you. You’re one of a kind — always ten steps ahead, never following the crowd, just being you.
Your drive and focus — that same determination your dad has — amaze me. When you set your mind to something, you give it everything you’ve got.
Today and every day, I hope you know just how deeply you are loved.
Happiest of birthdays and I love you, my Son. 💙
Annual Abaco Trip. This time by boat. We logged over a thousand nautical miles. Great friends. Great fishing. Great time as always. Its better in the Bahamas 🇧🇸
AldeReid’s 3rd Annual Bimini Trip. Pro tip: find a travel framily that says yes to every wild idea, laughs till it hurts, and makes sure no adventure is ever too crazy. Grateful for this crew. Where to next? 🇧🇸🥂😜
