You're 18! Happy Birthday!

Happy 18th Birthday, Tater Butt! I hope you have had a wonderful day.

You can find me on Facebook or Instagram if you would like to talk. We have so much to catch up on!

I love you and I have always loved you and I cant wait until the day when we can share with one another everything that has happened since we last hugged.

I am always here if you need me.

With love and hope,
Dad

Happy 15th, Buddy!

Happy 15th Birthday, Ethan. I hope you got the card I sent.

I love you and I hope that you had a wonderful birthday.

I cant help but wonder if you are about to go through Driver's Ed. Pay attention! Stay safe! But most importantly, relax. You're going to be a great driver.

I wish I were there to hug your neck right now. Words arent enough for me to tell you how much I miss you.

My phone number is in the card I sent. You and your sister can use it ANYTIME!

I love you, Ethan. That has never changed from the moment I first met you 15 years ago. It will never change.

All my hopes and prayers are for you and your sister. Be good to each other.

With love and hope,
Dad

Merry Christmas 2017

Merry Christmas! 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

I had a pretty great holiday. I thought of you two a lot.

For my birthday, we went to Charlotte to visit the NASCAR Hall of Fame. I got to see a life sized Lightening McQueen from Cars 3 and a lot of other characters. It was pretty cool. There was also ice skating at the museum. I think you two would have had fun skating and drinking cocoa.

After the museum, we went to visit the Charlotte Motor Speedway and see the lights around the track. The traffic was pretty bad, but that gave us time to sing a lot of cheesy Christmas songs together. The lights were amazing! They all blinked in time with the music on the radio! I hope we get to share this sometime.

We even got to drive through the stands! It was super cool!

I enjoyed making Christmas candy this year. I think Macaylee would be a good helper and Ethan would be a good taster!

I'm looking forward to all the Christmas memories we will be catching up on and making very soon.

I hope that you're being good.

I love you with all my heart. Remember, I'm just a phone call or email away if you ever need me.

With all my hope, prayers, and love,

Dad

Happy Birthday!

I cant believe you are already 17! I hope you had a wonderful birthday and got the card that I sent to you.

I wonder if you are driving and how you feel about being a junior this year. I wonder who your best friends are and what college you are thinking of applying to. I miss you so much.

Remember that you are loved and I am always here whenever you need me. We are getting closer and closer to the day when I can finally give you all the hugs that I have been saving for you!

Love always,
Dad

REMEMBER!

Never forget! God gave me you and I carry both of you in my heart, no matter the space between us.

You are always loved and always have been.

I pray for the day when I can see you and hold you both again.

Happy Birthday, Ethan

I hope you had a great birthday. It was so hot today and the storms were so loud, I hoped nothing ruined your special  plans.

I remember it was just a few years ago that we saw Cars 2 together. I CANT WAIT for the day that we watch Cars 3 together.

I miss you.

Today I was reminded that God gives dads sons so they will always have a best friend. I cant wait to spend time with my best friend again.

I love you and Im sending you so many hugs right now.

I will see you soon!

With all my hope and love,

Dad

Merry Christmas, babies

I love you both so much and cant wait until the Christmas I see you again.

BIG HUGS TO YOU!!

Love, Dad
