Twenty-One Days. It's been 21 melancholy days since you left this physical realm.
This is my Dad. It's been a hell of a year. After my whole family got COVID last year, my Dad was hospitalized. This hospital stay changed everything. It was identified then, that he had stage 4 kidney disease (resulting in dialysis 3 days a week, an hour away), a very rare autoimmune disease (Good Pastures Syndrome) and liver cancer. Still, he came out of the hospital that time like a champion. Continuing to live his life of service, dedicated to his community in so many facets. Delivering meals to shut ins, sitting on and thriving in the Greenville School Board, dedication to his faith attending multiple church services each week, and the list goes on.
Twenty One days ago, after a few weeks in and out of hospitals, his battle ended and the world lost a true superhero. The last few weeks have been spent with family, grieving, processing and finding a new normal. It's been a sad and chaotic time, to say the least. Mostly these last few weeks but this whole last year.
I want to extend my most sincere gratitude to all of you that have reached out, and shared in the memory of my Dad. I also want to thank you all for your kindness, patience and understanding as I navigate these waters that are very new to me, and for the patience you've awarded me throughout the last year.
I am a planner because of the very high value I place on being present with loved ones. I THRIVE in a place of connection, and love and appreciation for one another. I plan events to ensure that humans can collectively bask in the glow of life. Make memories. Honor and cherish one another. It's so important to LIVE with love, together. And the space our 2023, 2024 and 2025 couples have awarded me over this last year, putting your trust in me and the crew, that despite some emails that may have been delayed, or calls that had to be rescheduled, you KNOW that we're still ready to celebrate YOU. This means the world, and more than I will ever be able to express.
This wedding season is dedicated to my Dad, Duncan Macpherson, and his legacy. So 2024, let's get this legendary party started. Thank you. 🖤
