Happy Birthday

I wanted to take a minute and let you know I was thinking about you and hope you have a wonderful birthday. 

I love you. 

If you ever need me, you can find me.

If you ever need a place to stay, you are welcome in my home... always. 

With love and hope, 

Dad

Happy 16th!

Happy 16th Birthday to my son!

No matter how grown you feel or how tall you get, you will always be my boy. No matter what you do or what happens in this life, you are my son and nothing can change that. If you never hear another word I say or choose not to listen, you must believe that you are loved deeply. Don’t ever doubt it. Believe it.

No matter what happens in this life, what you do or don’t do, you always have a place with me.. and so does your sister.

You're 16 now and life will begin to change very quickly. I can hardly wait to see what happens!

I hope you have a wonderful day. I cant wait to spend birthdays with you in the future!

With Love and Hope, 

Dad

Happy Graduation!

                                                             


You made it! All your hard work has paid off!  I'm so proud of you!

Time flies so fast. It seems like only yesterday I was holding you as a baby and now you are all grown up and a high school graduate. 

Today begins a whole new chapter in your life! 

I'm wishing you nothing but happiness and success as you begin your brand new journey.  May the future ahead of you be as wonderful as you are!

Remember, I'm just a phone call away or you can find me on social media. 

With all my love, pride, and hope, 

Dad

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.

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
