First off I just want to say, It makes me ridiculously uncomfortable asking people for money. With that said, I sent a version of this letter to KC Crosby of the Lexington City Council yesterday after she helped to spearhead an effort to get March Madness Marching Band some much needed funds for our trip [...]
Will would have been 21 years old today. And in 4 days it’ll be 4 years since he left us. Will was my baby cousin and unabashedly he was my favorite. We shared a special bond and I will be forever grateful for the time I had with him. It’s hard to think that it’s [...]

Christmas Socks
