You two were an ever moving presence through many of our lives. Frequently in the cafeteria during lunch at school, at every football game and event in town, sure to be there every Monday night. You made summer trips fun and hard moments less hard. You opened your beautiful home to so many of us, yet somehow made each one of us feel like the only guest of the evening. And that's just the way y'all are: generous with your time, love, and resources, helpful and hospitable and honest with the company you keep. We were all lucky to have you both.
Thank you both for believing in me, for believing my story has a purpose, for taking me on my one and only (I may still be afraid) tiny airplane ride. Thank you for giving me a chance.
Thank you & I love y'all.
