Beloved Heritage

Today is my mama’s birthday.

From her, I inherited my nose, my smile, Diet Dr. Pepper addiction, fierce Nertz skills, and a hundred other things.

From her, I learned to love scripture, to cherish family, and to break necessary rules that stop a heartfelt journey towards God.

With her, I developed the strength to withstand loss and the desire to live life fully.

My little angels

Because of her, I know how to learn to love these girls better every day.
