The world lost another hero this week. My husband lost his father, our kids lost their Papa and I lost my best cornbread eating, story telling, never quitting buddy. He accepted and loved me for who I was and my life was richer for who he was. Rest In Peace, Papa. 💙 🇺🇸

When the rancher’s daughter wants steaks for her 8th birthday, she gets steaks for her 8th birthday. At least we are raising her right. Right? 🤗🎉🥩 #steakmakesbirthdaysbetter

She ran today and she did great. Even though her throttle cable broke, she still filled her bin with clean, pretty corn. I’m proud of her. And us. For making a go with what we had. It’s not always about having the best, but making the best with what you have.✨ #gleaner

My little man child hero. He finished his schoolwork, helped bag 200 bags of corn, and helped his dad feed calves. All while freezing and all without complaining. I want to be more like him. #proudmama

To the ones who need to hear it : Don’t let someone else’s negative view of you change your view of you. Don’t let someone else’s hate stop you - let it fuel you. Be true to yourself. Be the person you’re proud to be. Be the better one. Keep on keeping on. 👊

I don’t know a lot about life. Other than people need to be loved. And there’s never enough opportunities to say it or show it. So do it. Do love. Be love. Show love. More than you think is enough. Because one day you might not be able to tell them or show them again.
