The last two years have been some of the hardest of my life.
There have been days filled with grief, worry, stress, and moments where I honestly forgot what it felt like to simply smile. Losing my dad changed me in ways I never expected, and life has definitely thrown us more than our fair share of curveballs.
So when Dan surprised me with one of my dream vehicles, I wasn’t emotional because it was “just a car.” I was emotional because of what it represented.
Hope.
Love.
Being seen.
And a reminder that even after the hardest seasons, beautiful moments still find their way to you.
The fact that it’s the same beautiful blue as my daddy’s truck somehow makes it even more special. I’d like to think he had a little hand in this one. 💙😇
Dan… thank you. Thank you for always trying to make me smile, for believing I deserve good things even when I struggle to believe it myself, and for loving me through some of the hardest chapters of our lives.
I’ll never stop dreaming of my yellow Shelby Mustang with black stripes, but this Bronco has already stolen a huge piece of my heart.
I love you more than words can say. Thank you for making one of my dreams come true. ❤️ I also have to thank Roger and my brothers for helping Dan make this happen! I appreciate you more than you know! If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, see Roger Hatten at Shults Ford in West Mifflin. He’s absolutely amazing at what he does and he’ll keep you laughing the entire time!
