I made it!

⭐ I made it. ❄️
I share this to mark my journey… 💔❤️🩹

I made it through the first major holiday without my loving husband — not by my own strength, but by the strength of the One who deserves all the praise and honor.

We did things a little different this year, and honestly… it helped.
Usually I’m the one cooking and hosting family, but this time it was just us — quieter, simpler. Be still. Psalm 46:10

And as I looked into the sweet face of my 2-week-old granddaughter, Audrey Dawn 💕 I felt this soft, steady hope for the future… yet my heart still aches knowing Ricky isn’t here to enjoy this precious gift with me as grandparents. 🕊️

Has it been easy? No.
Have there been tears? Absolutely.
But God. 🫶🏻

He carried me through this first holiday, and I trust He’ll walk with me through all the ones still to come. Even in the heartbreak… so much to be thankful for.

Much love and gratitude,
~ Tracy
