This Father's Day feels different.
For our family, it is the first Father's Day without my brother, Shane, the inspiration, driving force, and purpose behind Shane's Bill.
Of all the things Shane accomplished in life, nothing meant more to him than being a father. The moment he learned his children's hearts were beating, there was no longer just "Shane." He became Dad. His five children were his greatest love, greatest accomplishment, and the purpose behind every decision he made. Not a day went by that they weren't on his mind. Every sacrifice, every goal, every plan for the future somehow circled back to them.
While our hearts ache, I find peace in believing his love remains. Today, I take comfort in knowing he watches over them free from the conflict and heartache that once surrounded him. No court order, no contention, and no circumstance can stand between a father's love and his children now. His love is uninterrupted. His presence unwavering. His love eternal.
Today, we also honor the fathers who sacrifice quietly, work tirelessly, love fiercely, and show up every day for their children, especially those fighting simply to remain present in their children's lives.
Fathers matter.
Children need their fathers.
That belief is one of the reasons Shane's Bill exists.
So today, hold your children a little tighter, make the memories, take the pictures, and never take the ordinary moments for granted.
And for our Shane...
We miss you beyond words. Your children are your legacy. Your love remains. And you will always be remembered as a devoted father whose greatest joy in life was being Dad.
Happy Father's Day, Shane.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever their father. ❤️
Turning Pain Into Purpose.
