My fondest memories of you being in your element and your cup overflowing with love were the two years we traveled in the RV and you got to live life on your terms.

You ditched the stress of work to live your dream of just focusing on the kids. Planning adventures, teaching, mentoring, and sharing the joy of exploring this beautiful country.

You took them to every zoo, national park, monument, and local attraction that made the city what it was. Reading from books or googling as we left one city for the next and sharing with us what our next destination was hiding and up to us to discover. Getting us excited and getting the kids' minds wondering about what they were going to get to do next. Rarely was there a destination where we relaxed unless it was on a beach and relaxing was the plan. Instead, you made sure that by the time we left that city, a piece of that local culture and geography came with us.

We experienced life to the fullest and gave the kids memories they will always keep. You made this happen. We explored cities, immersed ourselves in local food and music, adventured in the outdoors, attended every farmers market we came across, and enjoyed being a local no matter where we were. This was life. The life many will never experience. For two years you gave us the opportunity to enjoy you at the helm, steering the ship, and reminding us all about what's truly important. Thank you Meghan.

I'll never forget the laughs, smiles, and even the crazy moments like hunkering down from hurricanes in Florida, tornadoes in Louisiana, or dodging ice storms in Texas. We spent precious time with old friends, met new friends. You smiled more than I had ever seen you smile.

That's the Meghan I want the kids to remember. Truly an amazing human being who made a huge impact in the little time you were here.

Life isn't going to be easy without you. We miss you so much. You being gone still doesn't feel real. I keep waiting for you to call or text to talk about the kids, or even to get mad at me for missing something in the calendar. I'd take it. I'd take all of it just to have you back in our lives.

I rest easier knowing you are watching over me and continue helping raise our three incredible kids. We will keep looking for the signs that you are with us and do what we can to make you proud.

We love you Meghan. Thank you for being the most incredible mother to our kids. Thank you for the journey and the chapter of life we spent together. And thank you for the chapter after, where we kept working together to make sure our children felt loved and cared for even though our marriage ended.
