Dear Lovies,

I want to take a few minutes out of this Monday morning to apologize for my absence and let you know what has kept me away over the past few weeks. I really love giving you all my #HotMessMonday, #BehindTheTow Wednesdays, #ThrowbackThursday, #FaveFiveFriday, and #WhatIWore Saturdays but sometimes life throws a curve ball and prioritizing is important in order to make it through each day.

Last weekend my Uncle Michael lost his fight with cancer. I needed to pull back and take some time to be with my family. Uncle Michael will always be the best kind of man, an amazing father and husband, the son you hope you are lucky enough to have in your life, the friend that always has your back, and the coach that helps you find the best you.

Our family is picking up the pieces. Next weekend we will gather together to celebrate his life. We will continue living the way Uncle Michael taught us; to always remember we're the best thing going on today.

With love for my Uncle Michael, a man who has and will forever be a huge inspiration and major part of all our lives, every day.

Until we meet again...
