I didn’t know how amazing you would be with our kids..loving them, feeding them, cleaning their skids!

I didn’t know how brave you would be, following me on many adventures around the world.. Brazil, Mexico and being my copilot on giant truck & canoe trips across country!

I didn’t know how creative you would be with coaching, teaching our kids and hundreds of others to make life so much more fun.

I didn’t know how patient and gentle you would be when I was clueless on basic things of life.

I didn’t know how much you would fall in love with Jesus, but I’m so grateful you did. I am a proud member of the second place club!

I didn’t know how sweet you would be with your acts of service and encouragement through sermons and swim meets and the strife of life!

I didn’t know God gave me someone even better than what I thought!! Thanks Traci for being you and standing beside me through cancer and beyond! You are my best friend!

Happy happiest birthday my love! Brad

Traci Grace, you are my shining star in this crazy world!!
