Rebel by Nature

Dear Dad,

It’s been so long since I’ve talked to you. That Elvis selfie was our last one together, and I still can’t believe how long ago February feels. I wish I’d gone with you that night, but I’m so grateful we had dinner and that last selfie.

There have been so many selfies since then—some I got to tell you about, and so many I never will. That’s the hardest part.

The Fourth was so different without you. Mom’s doing pretty well, but if you could send her a little wink or sign to remind her you’re still watching over all of us, I know she’d love that. I know you are.

Erik is about to start driving & summer baseball, and Ava absolutely crushed Nationals. I’m going to miss watching her on stage, but I know she’ll find her next one.

Work is steady, and I’m working on a few exciting new things. I know you’d tell me to trust myself… but a little extra help from up there wouldn’t hurt. ❤️

We love you. We miss you more than words could ever say!
