Dance with My Father Dear Lord‚ “I know that I’m asking for too much‚ but could you send back the only man that I trust?” These are the words that I pray every night before I go to bed.

Today I’m thankful for my brother Trevor. Hard working‚ outgoing‚ funny‚ and simple are 4 words that describe him perfectly. No matter what he’s doing he puts his full effort into whatever it is.

Two years have gone by so fast‚ and there hasn’t been a day I haven’t
