Story Time 📚
5 years ago today, my life was completely different. You know when people ask for a 5 year plan? I could have never ever predicted this...
7.8.16
Julia and I were filling out engagement party invitations & I had just signed my paperwork to help create Rumble. My parents were in Atlantic City celebrating their anniversary when my Dad died of a massive heart attack.
My 🌍 stopped.
The shock never wore off, and a part of me never wants it to.
3 months later, my Mom gets diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
2017.
Rumble Opens 🥊
Julia & I get married🍾
Mom is kicking cancers ass.đź’ś
2018.
In April, My Grandma dies. Ironically today would have been her Birthday.
She was my only grandparent I ever met & a gem of a human. đź’Ž
In July, Julia & I go on a Rumble Tour & live in various cities. 🌇
In November, we get the call that Mom’s cancer is back with a vengeance. 💔
2019.
An absolutely brutal year watching my Mom suffer from the beast.
In November, my Mom passes away.
Hard part is knowing how much more she wanted to live.
.
Once again my 🌍 is turned upside down.
Now at 30 years old, I lost my Dad, Mom & Grandma in 3 years. All while having amazing career success and starting my wonderful marriage.
2020.
The pandemic hits causing more changes. Trying to process how much has changed, but the blessing in the making... our 1st baby is on the way.
2021.
Presley enters the world and changes our lives in the absolute best way. ❤️
Rumble sells and is going to be a global franchise. 🤯
.
It’s been 5 years today and most days I can’t wrap my head around what life was on 7.8.16 vs 7.8.21
It hurts my heart that Presley will grow up without my parents. I felt that same void. Never meeting my Dad’s parents.
It crushes me my Dad never saw Rumble.
All these proud moments I can’t share with them. But here we are.
Doing what we can to make them proud.
I don’t want sympathy.
I’m sharing my story for anyone who’s going through hard circumstances.
Who only see highlight reels.
Highlight real
Life sucks sometimes
It’s never fair
It’s never understood
It’s always taken for granted
& we always wish for more time.
A reminder if you can call them, do it. #woohoo4life
