today i celebrate both love and death…

9 years ago today I lost one of my best friends and greatest supporter, my daddy.
dad&me

But, 8 years ago today I gained a new best friend and even greater supporter, my husband.

And so today I celebrate two of the most amazing men ever to touch my life and my heart. 
I am forever changed by their incredible unconditional love, which has allowed me to feel safe in who I am, and safe in the love we share.
It’s rare to be loved that way once in your life.
And so I am incredibly blessed to have been loved that way twice.
And even though my dad may be gone, the effects of his love is not.
It lives in me, giving me hope, giving me comfort.
But, I continue to grow and blossom mostly because of the  husband I have been blessed to have.
We’ve had amazing days, and we’ve seen the darkest and hardest of them as well…
but his commitment to me and to the Lord, 
is what inspires me more than anything.
I am so thankful for this day.
I am so thankful for them.

  6. Oh, I hope your day was beautiful, friend! What a blessing to have had such an amazing dad and to find such a wonderful man. You two are so beautiful together!

  7. What a beautiful couple you make! I’m sorry you lost your dad before he was able to meet him… I lost my father to cancer in March. He loved life. He taught me so much about it – I started my blog when he really became sick as a reminder of the beauty of life. It’s really helped me appreciate every moment…
