Celebrated Teaghen with my dad, step mom, siblings and aunt. This is the thing I love about my dad’s side. Everyone shows up for each other. Family first. Above all.
When they heard we were coming on teaghens bday they got the boat out, took us out to Bay St Louis for dinner, music fest on the boat, had champagne and of course cake! Cake with sherbet.
My dad and Charlotte know how to make you feel celebrated and special with just small genuine acts of kindness.
Had the best time and I hope my daughter knows how much she is loved. 💚
Next time you’re down in the stockyards, swing by @oldgringoboots and see my girl and her new mermaid collection.
Isn’t @tinsleysantisteven the most gorgeous?!?
I may or may not be a proud momma!
P.S. my Swarovski crystal snake skin knee high boots are Old Gringo circa 2008. Look at us full circle!
My Tinsley is such a hustler! So full of talent. Love her so much. 💪🏼
My sweet sweet Teaghen. This is the year you turn 25. The year you’re getting married.
Watching you blossom into one of the kindest, loving, happiest, compassionate, inspirational beautiful souls I’ve ever known has been my privilege for 25 years.
I knew the minute you were born how gentle you would be. Always smiling with out a care in the world. Always been so comfortable in her own skin not needing anyone. Paving the way for all of us how to be a little softer. Always being our sounding board and voice of reason.
To witness the woman you are today is the highlight of my life. I hope today is the best birthday yet because the best is yet to come.
The next one you’ll be a married woman, but you’ll always be my baby. You’ll live forever in your swing in my mind. A little girl full of wonder.
I pray you keep that wonder and gentle spirit all the days of your life.
Happy birthday my love! 🩷
Fun little fact about me. I’m originally from Keller. First of all, I lived there when 1709 didn’t even go all the way to 114, but shortly before I moved to Burleson, Southlake Town Center was built. I was a Member of the Southlake Presbyterian church.
Elvis, me and Teaghen (before Tinsley was born) were the first Jospeh, Mary and Jesus at the Southlake TC nativity scene. That was 2000.
I know they still do it, but I’m not sure who puts it on anymore. I wonder how many families have played this role.
We stopped by Travis Matthews on our way out of town and they were having a prayer gathering. Brought back this special memory.
And I’m glad it’s a memory. But I don’t miss this traffic. However, I enjoy coming back and visiting, shopping and eating. I love thinking about how I grew up, where I grew up, my friends and good times.
Some bad times too. A simple reminder that I have moved forward to bigger and better times. But it’s not lost on me where I started. Proud of my growth. ✝️
All day every day I read every single post in the juice box group. Bc I have to learn every single thing there is to possibly know about type 1 diabetes.
I have to be prepared if she ever needs me. And she has many times.
Last night as I was reading, and there are some scary situations, I took a moment to reflect on this last year and a half. I will never forget the moment she called me so weak she couldn’t open the door to her dorm. My mother instinct knowing this wasn’t her average asthma attack. Laughing when she told me the nurse said she had diabetes. Then the horrific nights she was over dosing bc doctors don’t know near enough.
So many times through her diagnosis we could have lost her. Most accidental deaths happen in DKA because some one is undiagnosed. They don’t know and don’t get help fast enough.
Fast forward, diabetes who? Tatum is so strong it’s like she doesn’t even have diabetes. She stays on top of her meals, she is prepared, she rocks and rolls.
Diabetes hasn’t stopped her one bit from living her best life. But I also think this is mindset. I am really proud of her dad and I and family for supporting her early on that this is just a bump. Her pancreas is outside her body. So what? We can do anything.
And more importantly praise God in the Valley. What seems daunting is really just a testimony! And boy is she one. This girl is the smartest, funniest, most compassionate human I have ever known. Her light is shining on people every day! God knew what he was doing giving her this task. Her kingdom purpose is so much bigger bc of diabetes.
And she accepted the challenge with grace and grit. She is showing others what it looks like to be humble, kind, grateful and Overcome!
I’m in awe sometimes and I just wanted to share. If your kid gets diabetes, please know, there is life! Beautiful life. We know it’s scary at first and so overwhelming. But if we can do it, so can you! And we are here for you. Please reach out.
Love you Tatum Bug. You’re my hero. 💪🏼
