This year feels especially tender.
This morning, I sat and watched Dan read Colter a book about his very first Father’s Day. I found myself smiling, almost needing to pinch myself. Is this really my life? How did I get so lucky?
And then, just as quickly, my eyes filled with tears.
I’ve been missing my dad more than ever this year. Becoming a parent has only deepened my understanding of how much love he had to give, and how much he would have adored being a papa. There are so many firsts I wish he could be here for.
But even in his absence, I feel him with us. I know he’s been keeping a close watch from above.
This photo was taken on a family trip to Colter Bay in Grand Teton National Park, the very place our sweet Colter is named after. Someday, we’ll take him there and share the stories and memories that made it so special to me growing up.
I love you always, Dad.
Happy Father’s Day in Heaven. 🥹
