Calling you Mom is my favorite! I’m so grateful for you. Your help last week to get Millie’s where she needed to be to get open is so so so appreciated. And running off to the desert with you and the birthday crew was fun too!

Thank you for the visit and for your support, always. Happy Mother’s Day, Marmy! ❤️ @repuda

On the last night of her visit, we showed my mom the top of one of our most explored mountains in the area, Middle Mountain. It gave us quite a spooky show on the fall equinox. 🍂🍁🌧️

“I’m on top of the world” was suggested to me by instagram and the irony was too funny for me to resist. Enjoy a compilation video of our adventure into Mammoth Cave a few weeks ago! @willwillington @repuda @kristinbrazill

This accurately sums up how fast summer 2023 went by this year. Lots of memories made, trails hiked, flowers smelled and dirt roads driven, but boy did that fly by.

My mom hit copy and paste when she made me. I am a spitting image of her, even down to my laugh. I didn’t know you could pass a laugh down to your kid, but I hear hers in mine almost every day, and then I laugh harder. People who know her well know the laugh.

She also passed down a deep connection with nature. She has spent her life planting gardens and caring for what has become a jungle of houseplants inside their home, mostly because so many of their plants are now 30+ years old and a jungle naturally happens when they’re that established.

I’ve come to know that caring for plants, indoors or outdoors, doesn’t come easy for a lot of people (and that’s okay). In my case though, I think I learned through osmosis. I watched her, mostly from the ground pretending to be her dog, water and care for her plants in a bathrobe and slippers, with a coffee in one hand and her watering pitcher in the other.

I also picked up her love of birds. She taught me how to watch them, and sometimes let them watch you. She taught me how to be a temple of beauty in nature and stand tall like a tree. Then when you lose your balance pretending to be the tree, she taught me to laugh at yourself.

I talk about my family a lot and share stories about our childhood, because I hope to never forget it. We fought, we of course had ups and downs, but my mom and dad made sure we also always had fun, even when it was “forced family fun.”

I wish we could all be together and spend the weekend celebrating you, Mom, but I am beyond excited to see you later this month! Tomorrow, on actual Mother’s Day, and every day in between, I say thank you for everything. You are so loved.

She is beauty, she is grace. I walk around with her same face. Her name is Ter, she’s so darn dear. We’re happy she is here!

I’ll meet you in Florida, mama! Happy Birthday! Can’t wait to celebrate you! ❤️@repuda

Oh Mootie…our Mootie. Our girl crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday at the old age of 15 1/2. We’ve had a number of family dogs over the span of my life but she was our only dachshund and truly belonged to all 5 of us and loved all 5 of us.

I irresponsibly brought her home when I was 20 and living with my parents and immediately walked out the door to work a shift at Minsky’s. Such an asshole move, but when I came back home, she was wrapped up in the couch with my parents and officially named Mootie, after our neighbor and friend, Helmut. A fine German name for a find German breed.

My mom coined her with the phrase, ‘the untrainable dachshund,’ because that’s what she was. She and I took a puppy training class and the instructors wouldn’t let us move on to the next class because she refused to lay down. Ironically, the only trick she ever knew and repeated for us over the years was when we would say, “Mootie, who’s the baby,” she would fall to her side and show you her belly. If only I had known that’s the command she wanted!

She was the pizza and butter queen. On Thanksgiving one year, my mom was cleaning up the dining room table, which is where the kids had been eating. She asked our friend if her kids really liked butter because the dish was completely clean. We later realized that our little legged friend, Mootie, had jumped from the chair to the table and licked the butter dish clean. Her coat was beautiful for days! I have too many pizza stories to fit in this small space but my god that little dog loved pizza.

I will miss hearing the click clack of her nails in the kitchen and the small groan she made when she’d rotate under the blanket. I will miss our Mootie girl. What a wonderful life she gave us.
