Over the last week, I know I have been vague and frankly absent in my daily postings. The truth is I have been dealing with what every child fears - the loss of a parent. Even more so, the loss of our last living parent. That in between place of no longer having a daddy to call when we just need our dads and realizing we are now truly going to rely on the people they raised and the values they instilled to guide us. Big Daddy passed away suddenly but on his own terms, just like he lived his life. ❤️ My heart is broken. There are songs written about the love between a father and daughter and while always complex, no one championed or supported me more and made me a dream chaser than him. If you knew Big Daddy you knew him, yes, as a husband and father, but also as a true businessman who built himself up from the ground. Who never took no for an answer, and never gave up - and also loved a good round of golf. He worked hard to give Todd and I everything we could ever want for - but also inspired us to always work hard and believe in ourselves, which may sound cliche but I know it’s why we are where we are and have accomplished what we have - and no one was prouder of us. He loved us more than anything. Our dream was his dream. He taught us to believe in ourselves and take risks when we shouldn’t. Grand and Pop would have been so proud of you. 🤍 You were the center of our universe and Todd and I will miss you more than you can ever imagine. Big Daddy - I promise to honor your memory by embracing life as you did and striving to be the kind of person you would be proud of. You were not just my father but my luck and that will forever be true. And for those friends and family that have reached out, shown up and said their prayers, thank you. ❤️ It’s the circle of life and friends that make it a little easier to keep moving on and living like Big Daddy would want us to. 🙏🏼
