Happy 16th birthday, my boys! I am proud to be your mom and so grateful to see God at work in your lives. Kayde, you are steadfast, kind, relational, and fun to listen to music with. You never complain about taking out the trash. You always go on walks with me. You can play a mean drum beat. You are a willing worker & loyal friend. I dig your style & confidence. Your faithfulness to the Word is inspiring. I love your smile and the way you rejoice with others when they succeed. Liam, I love watching you explore new endeavors with drones & guitar, and sharing deep conversations over the latest YouTube videos. You are a diligent student, committed to living the Word, and your room decor is on point. I also love your style and pray that you’ll embrace hiking again because you’re so fun to adventure with. You have wisdom beyond your years and creativity too! I’m always here for you both. Let’s keep walking by faith together….He’s got good plans. @thekeffertwins

What a journey this year has been. We are honored to represent Team USA. I’m so proud of these boys. May they continue to be an encouragement to their generation. God is faithful. 🇺🇸🇮🇹 Thank you, Nick King, @arizonasfamily and to everyone who has come alongside our family with love & support.

Wildland first responders —Heart. Courage. Dedication. Compassion. Strength. Loyalty. Humility. Resourcefulness. Honor. Family. Walking through the doors in Boise, we instantly knew we were among family at the Wildland Firefighter Foundation. They have been there for us during this incredibly painful journey. “You are not alone,” they said on Day 1, and I can’t tell you how much I clung to those words. Steve would be grateful for the way you have loved us. We miss him terribly. Thank you for honoring my husband/our dad and the far too many fallen wildland warriors whose photos hang on your walls. 🇺🇸 It was a privilege to hug the families & hear the beautiful stories of their loved ones. #wildland #firefighter #paramedic #wildfire

Jackson Hole, Wyoming with the @garysinisefoundation and a group of beautiful women seeking to grow strong after tragedy. It was tough to let go and get on a plane without the kids. Unnatural. I am their only parent. They are my everything. But the only way out is through. Through the gut wrenching pain, through the darkness of the unknown, through the paralyzing loneliness and tormenting fear. Growing through grief requires an unimaginable kind of courage. Without faith, it is impossible. So I went. And I will keep “going & growing,” trusting God with the journey before me. I am honored to be a part of this unique tribe of woman. And I am honored to be a mom to my 4 incredibly brave children.

Easter 2024 🩵 My beautiful family. They are everything to me. God is faithful to carry us through the difficult days, and we are united in faith for the journey.

My handsome, strong, fun loving, bright & steadfast son is 18 today. Finlay Ross, you are my pride and joy. I love you dearly. Your dad loved you dearly. As you grow into adulthood with godly character and passion for life, you will take your dad with you. And your heavenly Father will guide you each step of the way with love. I celebrate you! And I look forward to a bright future with you. ❤️ You are treasured. 📸 from 2023-2024 real moments

I don’t really know what to say; it doesn’t feel like there are any right words for this, but my dad went to be with Jesus about 4 months ago this week. It was unexpected and shocking. We lost a man who loved the Lord and was the most faithful provider and servant. It didn’t make sense; it still doesn’t. I have dozens of voicemails from him calling me just to check in and see if there was anything he could do for me; to fix my car, to help with tuition, to reassure me that even though life was hard, God is capable of getting us through. He didn’t know quite what to do when I cried over a boy or a friend, so he just cooked me food and took me on drives with Pink Floyd blasting as a distraction. Dad taught me to find the adventure in everything, to laugh at myself, to be disciplined and push myself, to love people through action, to serve without complaining. He reminded me that the only way to get through life on earth with joy is to rely on God with every worry, every fear, every dark day. This week, my family and I had the opportunity to become part of the Gary Sinise foundation family and meet hundreds of other first responder families who have lost a loved one. There is power in community, and our experience was incredible, emotional, and healing. It was a reminder of Psalm 34:18 which says that “God is near to the broken-hearted, he saves the crushed in spirit.” As the days continue to be challenging and my family continues to walk through what, at times, feels impossible, we will lean on this reminder that our God has suffered with us and grieves with us now. We’re so thankful to be a part of the foundation, and can’t wait for continual opportunity to be poured into, and eventually to be able to pour into others in the same way.

We are grateful to @garysinisefoundation and @americanair for bringing first responder families together in Orlando to honor the fallen and offer support to the grieving. 🎥 @finlaykeffer #firstresponders #garysinisefoundation #americanairlines #firefighterfamily #honorthefallen #usa #wildlandfirefighter #paramedic #dads
