Forty-Two

April 23, 2022, Spencer turned forty two! We celebrated all weekend long with friends and family. From Zac Brown to oysters on Sunday, it was the perfect weekend. Plus, celebrating Spencer is simply the best.❤️ Spencer is the kindest, gentlest, most loving soul and we are beyond lucky to call him ours. He deserves to be celebrated, especially after this past year. I was anxiously waiting for reality to sink in. The moment when Spencer realizes Brittany won’t be the first to FaceTime him, the first to throw him a party, or the first to give him the most thoughtful gift (she was the BEST gift giver). Spencer and Brittany were extremely close. They even CHOSE to live together in their early adult years. So, to say I was on high alert is an understatement. I was fully prepared to pick up the pieces just like I did on May 29th. Later that day, Spencer received a text from Brittany’s best friend. There it was. The moment I was preparing myself for. We cried, we laughed, we reminisced. As much as I was dreading seeing my favorite human hurt, it was also necessary to release the pain that we all continue to carry. The hole in our hearts will never heal, but I’m thankful that Spencer found a little peace in Britt’s memory on his birthday.
