One of my favorite memories of Patrick & Will is "catch, transfer, throw" practice when Will was just a couple months old. I have it on video and it's the sweetest thing. I can't wait to show Will one day. Their "practice" has paid off because Will has a wicked arm and amazing hand eye coordination for a 3.5 year old {if I don't say so myself }. We were at the Angel game last weekend and in the Family Fun section Will threw 3 baseballs as hard as he could into the net... the Little Leaguers watching him were impressed, talking him up amongst themselves. So cute!
I try my hardest to picture Patrick with Reese... especially when she is having a full blown meltdown. I try to think of how'd he react or handle her... I think he would've had a little bit more of a tough time with her than Will. As a baby she was great... as a toddler, well, let's just say she is much different than Will. She is definitely getting easier with time/age but this girl has one sassy attitude {are you seeing a pattern here?} & the noises/screams I've heard come outta those lungs- well let's just say I've never heard another human or animal make those kind of sounds! I know there is something special about a daddy and his little girl and I know that no matter what she'd have him wrapped around her pretty little pink painted fingernail.

Will may have had only 1 year with P but yall were able to do SO much and he taught him so much in so little time, and I know you have hundreds of pictures of each memory to show him one day. It breaks my heart that Reese was never granted the chance to make the same memories. Thinking of you all today! xo
E: I can't imagine how difficult this day is for you. You are an amazing woman & mother. All you can do is keep his memory alive for them & from what it sounds like to me, u do a great job if that. PS - when u figure out how to tame a crazy 2 yr old lil lady....let me know from what it sounds like Téa & Reese would be BFFs.
Aww Erynn. You guys are one of the first things I thought about this morning. I know P is looking down on you and is so proud of the way you've filled both roles so far! xoxo
Oh yes she would've had him wrapped around her lil pink finger ;) as most girls have their daddy's. Enjoy today with the kiddie. My heart aches for them. I lost my daddy when I was 13. Thinking of all of you!
You are doing an amazing job.. Regardless of how much time Will had with P, their bond is forever ingrained.. Although Reese didn't physically share in her fathers love, his presence is all over her life.. He would have been an amazing father and wonderful husband, and nothing can ever replace him in your lives and hearts! Thank God for the new love (it's not a replacement, but an addition).. He will be a wonderful father and amazing husband.. All the best Erynn, xoxo Marijana
