The most amazing day. Truly, it’s the little things in life that mean the most. I’m so thankful I chose to stay. Chose to keep fighting. Chose to get help. Chose to LIVE. Because if I hadn’t, there’s so much I would have missed—like my kids experiencing snow for the very first time. Their smiles. Their laughter. Their JOY. Moments like these remind me how precious life is. If you’re struggling, please, please stay. Please keep fighting. You have so many adventures ahead. So much beauty still waiting for you. So much life to experience. Life is hard my darling, but so are you. 💛

Snowwwww @Nicholas Garand

Ryker’s first real snow!!! @KMWOODS @Dexter Woods @RykerKeegs @Nicholas Garand

This. This is what it’s like. To mourn a child and be happy for a child—all at once. I sat in the living room, laughing and soaking up girl talk with Taylor and her friends, feeling grateful for the moment. But as soon as they went to her room, I ran. Ran to the bathroom, shut the door, and broke down. Hysterically cried. Because my sweet, precious Aubreigh will never get this. I will never get this with her. How is it possible to feel so much love and joy in one moment and be completely shattered the next? My heart broke all over again. My soul broke. How do I sit in that room, smiling and loving on Taylor and her friends, giggling, asking about school, college, and boys, only to feel like I’m drowning moments later, crushed by the weight of Aubreigh’s absence? This is grief. The unimaginable collision of joy and pain. And this is me, surviving it, moment by moment. Please Stay! You are so so so loved !!!

28° is not it!😭

The second day of snow (yesterday) was just as magical as the first. We decided to venture out and visit our sweet girl. Ryker was so excited to play in the snow with his sissy in the only way he could. I wanted to visit my girl, and Ryker wanted to make snow angels and build a snowman for her gravesite. We just wanted to be with her—a way for us to share these precious moments with her. I wish more than anything that Ryker could play with Aubreigh here, but I know she was with us in spirit, smiling as we celebrated the snow together. These are the memories he will treasure forever, and so will I. We love our Aubreigh. She will never be forgotten. We’ll always find ways to include her and make memories with her as best as we can. To everyone reading this, hug your loved ones a little tighter. Show grace. Be patient. And love as if tomorrow isn’t promised—because sometimes, it isn’t. @RykerKeegs
