It has been a while since I posted my beloved feature Takes My Breath Away. Sometimes life happens, and you find yourself in a whirlwind—just holding on, hoping the ride slows down enough to catch your breath.
✨ Originally posted in 2012 and refreshed in 2025, this special edition is a heartfelt tribute to my daddy, who passed away in 2002. Forever missed, forever loved.
As many of you know, I recently started a new job and was fortunate to sell my home quickly—just six days. I truly believe my guardian angel—my Daddy—was watching over me every step of the way. I love you, Daddy. I miss you every single day.
Remembering you is easy, I do it every day. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away.
In honor of Father's Day, I’m sharing some of my favorite quotes about dads—beautiful reminders of the love, wisdom, and presence they give us.
