In memory of all who served.

When you love a warrior, you learn.

You learn that warriors will do what others will not and that love is worth the risk of loss.

You learn how to plead with God, sleep with the lights on, and how to let go - before deployments, of the life you wanted and what you thought it might be like when they return.

You learn a different kind of grief when friends who are too young to die, do.

You learn you could be next and how to love the moments you do have. You learn joy instead of fear.

You learn that evil exists, death has no rhyme or reason, and that “fair” and “deserve” are irrelevant.

You learn how to love in all phases of life through joy, injury, and pain, and you learn to live your vows.

You learn you can be pushed to your limit and still love and forgive more. You learn when others don’t understand your warrior or you that God still does, and that is enough.

Sometimes, you learn loss and that there are no limits to pain. That God lovingly prepared you and that no preparation is enough.

You learn that families don’t always get stronger and come together in pain; sometimes, they fall apart. You learn there is no outrunning grief, only submission to it.

You learn grace for people who don’t understand.

You learn that God’s heart breaks with yours and that, like any loving parent, He will go to war with you and for you. You learn He will never leave you or forsake you.

You learn you never knew love until you fell utterly in love with God and His goodness.

You learn that people will die in the fight, but they will live on forever in your heart. You learn that people will die from this world, but they will live eternally with God.

You learn that your warrior’s passage to heaven means you will no longer live fully on earth. You learn it is possible to live with one foot in heaven and one here.

You will learn it is okay to fight and lose and that we all suffer. You will learn it is good to keep living.

I hope when you see the American flag, you see more than a symbol. I hope you see a warrior story. I hope you see opportunities to live, love, and learn. I hope you see the warrior spirit living on.

I was asked to speak at the Alden VFW & American Legion Memorial Day Service yesterday and was honored to do so. Our little hometown of Alden is very special to us. It was nice to see so many genuinely good people we remember from our childhood that have supported us throughout the years. Thank you to Bud Milligan, Sister Ellen McCarthy, Larry Laduca and the Town of Alden for inviting us. It was an honor to share our story and remember our fallen brothers. Semper Fi, God bless Alden and the USA 🇺🇸

Our youngest woke up this morning, brushed her hair and put it in a ponytail and then started reading “How to be a Boss”. I didn’t tell her to, she just did it. I’d call that a parenting win! 🙌 I’m blessed beyond measure to be able to work from home and homeschool our children. The rewards are so fulfilling.

The dandelion is the only flower that represents the 3 celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars.
The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moon and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.
The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep.
Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine and dye for colouring.
Up until the 1800s people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “weeds” like chickweed, malva, and chamomile.
The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves.
Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.
Seeds are often carried as many as 5 miles from their origin !
