Dear Tuck,

The above color is my favorite.  If my soul had a color, that’d be it.  And those words, well that’s pretty much all I can muster without becoming a crying fool when I think about how much I love you.  

I’ve been thinking about what your favorites are going to be.   There’s no telling.  Thinking about what your favorites will be got me thinking about my own and how badly I’ll want to share them with you.  Sharing all of the blessings of life with you is almost too much.  So here’s my little bucket list for us, as a fam.  

take you to the amalfi coast and swim in blue grottos

go deep sea fishing and show you the color of water at 10000 feet

watch you fishing with your dad in our backyard

see you throwing a baseball with your dad

introduce you to the deliciousness of avocado 

blueberry pickin turned into blueberry pie makin

lightning bugs on a mississippi summer night 

the ole miss grove on a fall saturday

your grandmothers kind eyes

riding horses through fields and streams

hiking blue ridge mountains

switzerland in the summer 

your dads silly side

boat rides to see the sunset

gelato specifically stracciatella and movenpick

watch when you understand what Jesus did for us

a good shrimp po-boy

when you learn how to ride a bike

…

What’s incredible to me is the fact that this is just the beginning of a list that could go on for days.

Life is filled with so much beauty.  I hope you always try to look for that in any situation.  

I can’t wait to get started on this list with you.
