🎃 Overcoming the Emptiness — Showing Up Anyway
This year was different. For the first time, my little girl didn’t want to go with me to our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. 💔 I could’ve stayed home and let the emptiness win… but instead, I showed up anyway. I went, took pictures, shot videos, and made moments — not because she was there, but because my love for her was. I sent her the photos and videos — not to make her feel bad, but to remind her that she’s always included, always loved, and forever one with me in spirit. 💫 Sometimes as parents, our love has to be unconditional in action, not just in words. Even when they choose differently, even when it hurts, we keep showing up. Because love never stops showing up. ❤️ I’m grateful for her, for the lessons she teaches me, and for the chance to be her dad through every season — even the hard ones. 🍁 Question for all the parents: What are your fall or festival plans with your kids this year? Let’s share some ideas to make new memories — together. #Fatherhood #Faith #Love #Gratitude #ParentingJourney #FallFestivals #PumpkinPatchMemories
