Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mom. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Although you left this earthly home in January 2019, not a day goes by that your memory doesn't live on in our hearts. Today, we celebrate youโ€”not just because it is your birthday, but because of the beautiful life you lived, the love you shared, and the lasting impression you made on everyone fortunate enough to know you.

Mom, there are moments when I wish I could hear your voice, see your smile, share a conversation, or simply sit in your presence one more time. Time may continue to move forward, but it never diminishes the love I have for you or the space you will always hold in my heart.

I am grateful for the gift of being your son, for the memories we created, and for the lessons and love that remain a part of who I am. Though I can no longer celebrate your birthday with you here, I find comfort in knowing that your legacy continues through the lives you touched and the family you loved.

Today, I celebrate your life, honor your memory, and send my love heavenward.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mom. You are missed more than words can express, loved beyond measure, and remembered always. Until we meet again. โค๏ธ

HARRISONBURG, Va. โ€” Had a great time watching the JMU Dukes battle the Troy Trojans into overtime on Thursday night!

There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of college football under the lights in the Valley. The energy of the crowd, the excitement on the field, and the traditions of JMU football made for a memorable game-day experience.

It was especially great watching my favorite Duke and his friends make memories, enjoy the game, and cheer on the Dukes!
