The story unfolds slowly, and Lily gives clues along the way but never fully reveals what she’s a part of - until the very end.

  • Thanks For Being Here Sherri's Wedding Letter to her Son Colton

    Thanks For Being Here Sherri's Wedding Letter to her Son Colton
    Sep 15 2024
    Sherri Coale wrote a deeply-felt “you got this” letter to her son Colton in the days before his wedding. She was certain that if she tried to say all of the important things she wanted him to know, “nonsensical drivel wrapped in tears, would land in his lap”. So, she sat down and wrote him this loving, sage advice-filled letter. This is a great GOTO to share with any young couple you may know…and maybe even your partner.
