From the beginning to now… 3 years later. ❤️

I can still remember landing in Miami on February 15th… walking out of that airport and seeing you in the Mustang… almost hitting pedestrians because you were so excited trying to park 😂. I’ll never forget the first time I laid eyes on you. You could barely even look me in the eye… and I can’t tell you how cute and sweet I thought that was.

And that first kiss… it was everything and so much more. If I close my eyes now, I can still feel it.

My loveyyy… we have been through so much together. The good… the bad… and everything in between. Life hasn’t always been easy for us, and I know there are so many things along the way that neither one of us ever envisioned.

But I will say this… despite every hardship, every challenge, every difficult season… we are still standing. We are still showing up. We are still choosing each other. And we are still fighting for the life and the family we created together.

And deep down, I truly believe that’s all God could ever ask of us.

Because somewhere along the way, He gave us the most amazing and beautiful gift we could have ever dreamed of… our baby Emily. Our angel. Our miracle. ❤️

Life looks so different now compared to that very first picture. Back then it was just me and you… two people falling in love with absolutely no idea where life was going to take us.

Now we have a family. We have memories. We have scars. We have lessons. We have a beautiful little girl who is a piece of both of us… and we have a story that is still being written.

It may not always look exactly how we imagined it would… but when I look back at where we started and then look at us now, I’m reminded of just how much life we have lived together.

I love you Mami! I love where we started. I love what we created. And no matter what life continues to throw our way, I pray we never stop choosing each other, growing together, and fighting for everything we have built.

Happy 3rd Anniversary to us!!!❤️

From our first picture… to now… and hopefully a lifetime more to come. 🍊🍊🍊 by @ryanwspencer

Laughs, splashes, and so much family fun!☀️🏝️

This Nickelodeon Resort adventure brought me right back to my childhood. The best part was to watch Emily seeing all the characters and making memories with her cousins. Seeing their joy together filled my heart. 🥹✨

So grateful and blessed for these precious family moments🫶

Dad,

Words can never describe how much I miss you. I’d give anything for one more laugh, one more conversation, one more hug… one more everything.

Life has been a rollercoaster these past couple years… some of the highest highs and some of the lowest lows. Through it all, I’ve felt you. In my heart, in my mind, in my bones. The way I carry myself, the way I lead my family, the way I push through adversity… it all comes from you. Every day I try to make you proud and honor the legacy you left behind.

Now that I’m a father, I understand a love I never fully understood before.

Emily has become the greatest blessing of my life. She’s changed me in ways I didn’t know were possible. Watching her grow, hearing her laugh, seeing her smile, protecting her, teaching her, and loving her has shown me what being a dad truly means.

And while it hurts that you never got the chance to hold her, hear her laugh, or watch her grow in person, I still feel you with her. In so many moments… especially after everything she’s been through… I’ve felt your presence watching over her, protecting her, and guiding her when I couldn’t.

I know you would’ve absolutely adored her… and she would’ve adored you. I can only imagine the bond you two would’ve had, and the memories that should’ve been made. Even though I wish more than anything you were here with us, there’s comfort in knowing you’re never far from her.

The love I have for Emily has given me an even deeper appreciation for the love you had for me. It made me realize that no matter how old I got, I was always your little boy… just like she’ll always be my little girl.

I miss you every single day Dad. More than words can ever explain.

Happy Father’s Day to the best Dad a son could ever ask for!!! I love you Dad!!❤️ by @ryanwspencer

❤️ Happy Birthday My Love ❤️

This past year has defined us in so many ways. We’ve been through a lot, but by the mercy of God we are still standing — and our little baby girl is doing amazing. Through it all, you have been a warrior every step of the way, and I want you to know how grateful I am for you.

I know life hasn’t been easy and there were moments where it felt like there was no point in putting one foot in front of the other… moments where giving up probably felt easier. But we didn’t do that. We kept going. We fought harder this year than we ever have.

Alexa Spencer — no matter what God puts in our path, I just want you to know I’m grateful He put you in mine. There is no one in this world I’d rather do life with.

I love you baby girl and wish you a very, very special birthday.

Te amo mucho mi amor!!! 🍊 by @ryanwspencer

My Forever Valentines 💘 by @ryanwspencer

A year ago today, I was welcoming into this world the greatest blessing God has ever given me—a beautiful baby girl. We had no idea what she would look like or what her little personality would be, but from the very beginning, she filled our hearts completely.

Month after month, we lived some of the most precious moments of our lives—until the biggest fear we could ever imagine became our reality, and we almost lost her. For over three months, we lived in fear and uncertainty, feeling hopeless as everything seemed to be crashing down around us. Yet through it all, she never stopped smiling. She gave us hope when we couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and reminded us every day that everything would be okay.

Today, with hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate her first birthday. We celebrate her life, her strength, her fight, and the incredible courage she showed through such an unexpected journey. We also celebrate being together as a family and the blessing of continuing to give her the best life we possibly can as her parents.

Emily, your dad and I love you more than anything in this world. You are the light that keeps us fighting every day, and everything we do is for you. We love you beyond words.

Happy 1st birthday, mi muñequita 💝 by @ryanwspencer

Dad… there are so many things I want to tell you. So many questions, so many conversations, so many moments I wish we could still share. From Clemson football to your granddaughter… who’s about to turn one next week. I reach for my phone to call you more than you’d ever imagine… it happens every week.

Your direction, your guidance, the comfort you gave me to tackle anything life threw my way… I can’t put into words how much I miss that. I miss coming home to visit and that first big hug. Sitting down, catching up, playing golf… the list goes on and on.

But most of all, I miss hearing you say, “I’m proud of you son.”

Every single day I work hard to carry your name with honor. There are so many moments where I guide myself by asking, What would Dad do? And lucky for me, we were always cut from the same cloth… I never have to look far to find you. I always loved being called your spitting image, and I pray that I end up being even half the man you were.

My hero.
My Dad.

I love you so much.

Happy Birthday Dad. ❤️ by @ryanwspencer

My baby, my entire world…you’ve shown me what true and unconditional love really is. Almost three months ago, life hit me harder than I could have ever imagined. In matter of seconds, my life completely changed. I felt hopeless, powerless, and broken. All I could do was place everything in God’s hands.

And then He gave me the biggest miracle.
You! … Smiling brighter than ever, full of more life than anyone I know. This journey hasn’t been easy, and there have been moments filled with fear, anger and numerous obstacles… but my faith hasn’t failed me. I trust that everything will continue to fall into place, and soon we’ll be able to focus on you and only you.

Every single day, I’m grateful to have you in this world…healthy, growing, and showing me what STRENGTH truly looks like. God has blessed me and shown me miracles right in front of my eyes. Even on the hardest days, He keeps surprising me with everything He can do.

I love you Memis. In this world and any other, I will forever be grateful for your life. Mi niña guerrera!💗🙏 by @ryanwspencer
