That very last bit of light....
One person in this photo cheated and took off before I said go....I'll give you one guess who it was (hint: he didn't want his teenager to beat him). xo
The first Father's Day with an undeniable and aching absence---and yet the Lord, faithful as always, was here. He was here in the people who surrounded us, in the beautiful moments we shared, in the strength and support of family, and in the quiet "in-between". Thankful He showered us with enough sweetness to overcome the bitter. . Today I wish this man a very happy Father's Day. He is a dad by CHOICE - and he chose it eagerly; diving in head first and without ever looking back. He is not a replacement, but rather all together different and set apart in his relationship with J & A. He inspires me everyday and demonstrates pure, unconditional love for children who will never share his DNA (or "epic" dance moves). He is a true gift we never knew how much we needed. . So if today, while scrolling, you are reminded of heartache, deep loss, broken relationships, and/or relationships that never existed...know, you are absolutely NOT alone. There is an "Ultimate Dad" who loves you wildly, and will comfort you....he is the Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5) and works ALL things for good. Much love everyone. xo
Love is like the wind...you can't see it until it touches something. xo
The toasts! They are so incredibly special---full of laughter and meaningful stories regarding the bonds of friendship and family. Whether they are short and sweet or a little long-winded, I always find myself laughing alongside the guests, and sometimes wiping away a tear or two. Cheers to new beginnings, existing relationships, and lifetimes full of memories (even the embarrassing ones). xo #grigsbytosibley
Live well, laugh often, enjoy the wine, have dessert, run, dance till your breathless and love one another deeply. xo
