A day that never gets easier.

Your birthday.

Today you would be 6. You would be going into 1st grade. There’s a lot of things we would be doing like celebrating with a big party surrounded by all your friends and our family. Like watching you tear into your piece of cake like you had been waiting all day for it. Like watching you rip into your birthday presents squealing with joy because it was exactly what you wanted. Like going shopping for school clothes and supplies, counting down the sleeps until we met your teacher.

Instead we celebrate you in a different way. We celebrate the 2.5 beautiful months you gave us. The laughter I remember like it was yesterday. The sleepless nights I’d happily go through all over again if it meant you’d still be here.

We miss you so much. The bible tells us you are whole and happy enjoying yourself in Heaven, but selfishly I want you here.. with us. But I know you are safe in the arms of Jesus.

Happy 6th birthday Grayson. We love you all the way to Jesus and back.

Until we see you again baby boy 🤍👼🏼

Tucker had so much fun at church today. So happy he is able to enjoy these things now 🤍shout out to them for taking this pic 😊

Happy 4th of July from our family to yours ❤️🎇

This morning was extra special — Tucker officially graduated from Early Childhood Intervention! 🤍

Through this program, he received in-home physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. The incredible team at Easter Seals helped Tucker regain strength and get back on track after his surgeries and long NICU stay. They have been by his side every single week since coming home from the NICU in 2024.

When Tucker came home at just 4.5 months old, he was extremely behind. He couldn’t roll over, sit up, drink from a bottle, or eat puréed foods. After everything his little body had endured, he had a long road ahead.

Christina and Kristen poured their hearts into helping Tucker overcome every obstacle — from surgery regressions to weakness caused by his medical conditions. Week after week, they showed up for him with patience, encouragement, and so much love.

While we are sad to say goodbye, we are beyond proud of how far Tucker has come. Today, he no longer needs their services, and that feels huge. Watching him overcome so much has been nothing short of incredible.

Thank you, Christina and Kristen, for showing up and showing out for Tucker every single week. We will truly miss you 🤍

Tuckers ready for monster truck wars 🤍

I think Tucker likes finger painting a little too much 😅
