To Kailey, Ted, and Faith—
You are the reason I write.
These pages hold stories of where we’ve been, what I’ve learned, and the laughter, heartbreak, and hope we’ve shared along the way. They are a small record of the moments that shaped us as a family, and me as a person—some big, some quiet, all meaningful.
If there’s one thread running through every post, it’s this: I believe in you. In your kindness, your courage, your curiosity. In your ability to carry forward the best of what came before, and to build something even better.
May you always remember that love is a legacy, that effort matters, and that showing up—for each other, for your values, for the work that needs doing—is its own kind of triumph.
This is for you. And because of you.
Love always,
Dad
